admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:17:36 +0000

Every year The Goldman Sachs Foundation and Asia Society recognize US high school students that demonstrate in-depth understanding of key issues in international affairs. Sarah from Westlake Village, CA is one of the 2008 winners of a $10,000 scholarship. She created a video comparing her life and those of her peers with people she met in Nepal, finding different definitions of necessity, wealth, and happiness. Sarahs video included footage she shot while in Nepal with a media team documenting human rights issues and the recent historic elections. While there, she filmed an interview with the rebel leader at the time, Prachanda, who has since become the Prime Minister of Nepal. Sarah has also completed video projects for her local symphony orchestra and continues to follow the evolving political situation in Nepal.

SOUL MAN (part 5)

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:17:11 +0000

Harvard Law freshman Mark Watson, having been cut off by his millionaire dad, tries to fund his education by tinting his skin with tanning pills and passing as African-American. But after being nearly evicted by his landlord, arrested by the police, and subjected to an endless barrage of “no offense” racist jokes, he learns that being black isn’t the easy way out by far. But he must face the real repercussions of his ruse when he falls in love with a hardworking black single mother, who is the rightful recipient of the scholarship he received.

Are there seriously no scholarships for women pursuing a Ph.D. in Sociology?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:25:51 +0000

I can’t find any! Are there none? I’m looking for a scholarship, not a fellowship. I will be starting a Ph.D. program this fall with no funding, so I’m 3 years away from a fellowship. Anyone know where I might find some money?

You will have the best luck by going directly to the school and department at your college of choice. Most schools and departments have some money for scholarships, but I’m not sure if its always designated for grad students. It certainly can’t hurt to ask. Don’t just do emails… go in person and ask to talk to the department head. Usually a Dean or Assistant Dean.

Leave something with them with your contact information on it… a vita or a resume or even a business card… that way when they get their budgets for next year they might think of you. Also, get friendly with the Administrative Assistant in that/those offices… they may remember your name when these opportunities arise if their boss does not.

Good luck.
