    Can I get a California Grant for college even though I live in Irvine, CA?

    Posted by admin on January 26th, 2011 and filed under college grant | 2 Comments »

    I keep hearing people tell me I won’t be able to receive a Cal Grant for having a house in Irvine, CA. I suppose the area is fairly nice, but not THAT great. My family still really needs the money because my sister will be applying for college soon too. If I can’t get a Cal Grant do you know any other scholarships or grants that could give me just as much money?

    Here’s the link to the eligibility requirements for a Cal Grant: http://www.calgrants.org/index.cfm?navId=12

    I don’t see anything that lists if you live in Irvine you won’t be eligible. Is the house the primary residence, or is it rental property? If it’s rental property, it may be seen as an asset and maybe that’s why you’re getting that information. It doesn’t hurt to apply, especially if after looking at the eligibility factors you qualify. Good luck!

    How can a small town college refuse federal and state funding and still thrive?

    Posted by admin on January 26th, 2011 and filed under college funding | 2 Comments »

    A small college in Michigan wants to ensure independence for the future. No state oversight on student loans allows this college to make its own judgement calls. The board has however raised tuition by 4.2% this summer, which was a lower percentage than many public universities. This college stopped accepting federally backed loans in 1984.
    This college teaches liberal arts, and I should clarify. Most colleges in the state of Michigan, continue to increase tuition, and cut programs, and are in dire need for funds even with state and fedral monies. This is conservative country.

    OII Lectures. 6: Scholarship in the Digital Age

    Posted by admin on January 23rd, 2011 and filed under scholarship search | No Comments »

    In this short overview, Eric Meyer discusses the main themes of his lecture in the OII’s series of lectures aimed at undergraduates. His lecture examines how scholarship is changing in the digital age. Many researchers routinely use search engines as their main tool to find information or locate publications, but there are myriad of other digital tools that scholars use daily, including Wikis, databases, and blogs. There are also tools that support collaboration, which allow distributed teams to work across distance, access instruments remotely, and use novel visualization and simulation techniques.

    How are these transforming knowledge work? Do they enable new research questions to be asked, make teams more collaborative and interdisciplinary, or simply complicate work and raise new issues of data security and privacy? Many argue that current research challenges require larger datasets, more distributed collaboration, and more global approaches. Will these tools enable these challenges to be addressed in new and more effective ways? This lecture reviews a range of cases from across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities to answer these questions.

    RIT on TV News: Rochester Scholarship Program

    Posted by admin on January 23rd, 2011 and filed under scholarship application | No Comments »

    WHEC-TV (Channel 10) reports on a new scholarship program at Rochester Institute of Technology that will ensure free tuition to the university for qualified students from the Rochester City School District.

    A new pathway to college has opened for some local students. The Rochester Institute of Technology is establishing a new scholarship for city high school students. RIT President Bill Destler made the announcement this morning.

    It’s a fantastic day for the kids of the city. Rochester Superintendent Jean-Claud Brizard says this scholarship program is more than a handout, it’s hope. When I heard about this I was dancing in my office, it’s a fantastic day.

    Destler says the school is now offering free tuition for some city students. To qualify, a student has to spend at least three years at a high school in the Rochester district, the student has to be accepted to RIT and the scholarship can only go to students from families making less than $60,000 a year.

    Deslter says he wants all students to have the same opportunity to come here to RIT and he believes this program will actually level the playing field among students. He says that’s just one of the benefits of this scholarship program. The revitalization of Rochester is a prime concern of ours; we will flourish if the city flourishes.

    Both Brizard and Destler say they’re hoping this program will be an incentive for people to move into the city, rather then out of it. Brizard said, If you have a city thats slowly losing population, losing people, it’s a devastating thing for our community.

    But that doesn’t mean this program won’t open up to students in the suburbs one day. Destler did mention that as a possibility but he says right now, the program is for city school students only, and his message to them is that if they do work hard- get good grades, get admitted here, tuition will not be a problem.

    Brizard adds, They have to understand, it’s not just about getting the money to pay for it, they have to be prepared academically as well.

    The new scholarship program will begin in fall 2010.

    RIT and Rochester School District officials aren’t sure how many scholarships will be awarded but they hope to award as many as possible.

    Two-thirds of this programs funding comes from RIT and one-third is from federal and state.

    To meet eligibility requirements for the scholarship, students must:

    - Attend Rochester City Schools District for three years of high school, and must reside in the district for these three years
    - Be accepted to the freshmen class by RIT for full-time enrollment in any of the university’s baccalaureate programs
    - Enter directly from high school in their graduation year and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
    - Come from families with income levels below $60,000
    - Be certified by their high school counselors during the admission process as meeting residency requirements

    Tuition for full-time undergraduates at RIT is currently $28,866.
