This program funds students and recent graduates to spend a year gaining professional experience in Asia, and especially targets those who have had little or no previous experience in Asia or Asian Studies.

Juniors, seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students at UW are
encouraged to apply for the Luce Scholars Program
(http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx). This is great opportunity for those
with little or no prior experience in, or education about, Asian countries
to add this valuable perspective to their future career interests!
 
The UW is able to nominate 3 students per year to compete nationally for the
opportunity to spend 12 months in Asia. The program provides stipends,
language training and individualized professional placement in Asia for
fifteen to eighteen young Americans each year.
 
During the current application cycle for the 2013-14 program, applicants
must be American citizens who, by July 1, 2013, will have received at least
a bachelor's degree and will not have reached their 30th birthday.
Applicants should have a record of high achievement, outstanding leadership
ability, and a clearly defined career interest with evidence of potential
for professional accomplishment. Those who already have significant
experience in Asia or Asian studies are not eligible for the Luce Scholars
Program. Additional details are provided in the Program Summary below.
 
Information sessions covering the program basics, application and nomination
process will be held:
* Tuesday, May 15, 3:30pm, Savery Hall 156
* Wednesday, June 27, 4:30pm, Mary Gates Hall 171
 
Please RSVP to attend at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/234.

Program Summary:
 
The Luce Scholars Program represents a major effort by the Henry Luce
Foundation to provide an awareness of Asia among potential leaders in
American society. Launched in 1974, the Luce Scholars Program is aimed at a
group of highly qualified young Americans in a variety of professional
fields. It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended
for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not
otherwise have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come
to know Asia.
 
Luce Scholars have backgrounds in virtually any field other than Asian
studies, including but hardly limited to medicine and public health, the
arts, law, science, environmental studies, international development, and
journalism.
 
Placements can be made in the following countries or regions in East and
Southeast Asia: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos,
Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand,
and Vietnam.
 
In spite of its name, the Luce Scholars Program is experiential rather than
academic in nature. Some Scholars have been attached to Asian universities
in teaching or research capacities, but none of the participants is formally
enrolled as a student in a college or university and no academic credit is
extended. Past placements have included an architect?s atelier in Tokyo; a
public health program in Banda Aceh; a Gobi regional initiative in
Ulaanbaatar; a dance theatre in Kuala Lumpur; an agricultural and
environmental center in Hanoi; a human rights commission in Seoul; a
pediatric hospital in Bangkok; a TV network in Beijing; a national museum in
Siem Reap; an international arbitration centre in Singapore; and
English-language newspapers, local governmental agencies and NGOs in diverse
fields throughout East and Southeast Asia.
 
Professional placements are arranged for each Scholar on the basis of his or
her individual interest, background, qualifications, and experience. Each
Scholar spends July and August studying the language of the placement
country, and the work assignments run for approximately ten months from
September until July of the following year. The placements are intended
primarily as learning opportunities for the Scholars. Certainly it is hoped
that a Scholar will be able to make a professional contribution to the host
organization, but equally important is a willingness to learn some of the
many things that Asia has to teach.
 
2010 UW graduate Jesse Burk-Rafel was selected as a Luce Scholar in 2010 and
spent 2010-2011 in Mongolia under the program. Read the UW News article
about Jesse at http://www.washington.edu/news/archive/56129.

The Washington News Council is accepting applications for two $2,000
scholarships to be awarded in 2011 to Washington state students planning
careers in communications:

    The Dick Larsen Scholarship will go to a past graduate of a Washington
high school currently enrolled in a public or private college/university in
this state.

    The Herb Robinson Scholarship will go to a graduating Washington
high-school senior who is entering a public or private college/university in
this state.

The scholarship program is open to students with a serious interest in

reporters in Washington state. He served for more than 20 years as political
writer, editorial columnist and associate editor at The Seattle Times, and
later wrote a column for the Eastside Journal. He also worked in politics
and public relations, and was also an accomplished illustrator/cartoonist.

Herb Robinson, who died in October 2003, was among the states most respected
print and broadcast journalists. He was editorial-page editor at The Seattle
Times for 12 years and a member of the editorial board for more than 20
years. He was previously news director at KOMO-TV, where he started and
anchored its first news broadcast program.
We offer these scholarships to honor the high standards of fairness,
accuracy and balance in journalism and communications that Dick and Herb
achieved throughout their careers.

The Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards is offering a host of
workshops and information sessions to help undergraduate students search and
apply for scholarships and other opportunities, including scholarship search
workshops, Personal Statement and Curriculum Vitae/Resume writing workshops.
Please share the following widely with interested undergrads and feel free
to post the attached flyers.
 
Scholarship 101: Getting Started in the Search for Scholarships
Specifically designed for freshmen or first-quarter sophomores, this
introductory workshop provides students with information to begin the
scholarship search and to develop a competitive edge for merit-based
scholarships.
  *  January 11, 2012 from 3:30pm to 4:20pm, MGH 258
  *  January 24, 2012 from 4:00pm to 4:50pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room

drop-ins are also welcome!
 
Scholarship 201 for Continuing Students: The Search for Undergraduate
Scholarships and Graduate Fellowships
This workshop provides assistance to continuing students looking to fund
undergraduate academic years and graduate school. This will include
information on discipline specific scholarships, campus funding
opportunities, scholarship search sites, and tips to develop competitive
applications.
  *  January 19, 2012 from 4:30pm to 5:20pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room
  *  February 1, 2012 from 2:30pm to 3:20pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room
Please RSVP to attend at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/245 though

  *  January 23, 2012 from 3:30pm to 5:00pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room
Please RSVP to attend at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/237.
 
Develop your undergraduate CV/Resume for use in scholarship, fellowship,
research opportunities, and graduate school applications! A Curriculum Vitae
("CV" or "vitae") is a comprehensive, biographical statement emphasizing
your professional qualifications and activities. A CV is similar to a
resume, but an advantage to the CV format is the significant freedom to
choose the headings and categories for your information and the strength
reflected in their arrangement.
 
Bring a working draft, such as an existing resume, and a list of activities
including: Honors, Awards & Prizes received no longer than 5 years ago,
Academic and Research Activities, Community Service Involvement, Work
History, and Activities outside of the Academic Environment. In this
workshop you will have the opportunity to work with Office of Merit
Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards staff to develop and strengthen a draft
of your CV!
 
Personal Statement Writing Workshops
  *  January 10, 2012 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room
  *  January 18, 2012 from 2:30pm to 4:00pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room
  *  January 25, 2012 from 3:30pm to 5:00pm, MGH 171 Multipurpose Room
Please RSVP to attend any of the sessions at
https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/236.
 
The Personal Statement is an important part of an application package.
Applying for scholarships, internships, and graduate/professional programs
often requires a personal statement or application letter. This type of
writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely,
which can be challenging.
 
Personal Statement Workshops will provide students with essential
information to develop an understanding of not only writing about their
interests, eligibility and suitability for applications, but also to learn
how their statements provide evidence of their achievements that aren?t
reflected in other parts of an application.
 
Further information about scholarship opportunities is available on our
website at exp.washington.edu/scholarships.

SPRING QUARTER INTERNSHIPS IN WASHINGTON D.C.
GUARANTEED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UW STUDENTS
 
As fall quarter ends and the holidays approach, have you considered your plans 
for the new year? Perhaps you'd be interested in spending the spring quarter as 
an intern in the nation's capital?
 
If you apply and are admitted to The Washington Center's spring internship 
program in D.C. and if you are a Washington resident, you will receive a 
minimum scholarship of $3,000 to substantially defray the cost of attending. If 
you are not a WA state resident, you will receive a minimum scholarship of 
$1,000, and you should find that the cost of a quarter in D.C. actually is 
comparable to (or even less than) what you would pay to stay at UW. (Please 
note that applicants to the Postgraduate Professional Development Program will 
not be eligible for these awards at this time.)
 
Financial assistance above these minimums is available--UW applicants will be 
given priority consideration upon acceptance. In addition to the internship, 
TWC's evening course and supplemental programming will help you to grow 
professionally, academically, and personally.
 
At UW, program participants enroll in 15 credits of Pol S 498 - Washington 
Center Internship. Financial aid recipients are still eligible for their aid, 
and the quarter spent in D.C. will still help you advance toward graduation.
 
If you would like to learn more, TWC is hosting a webinar on Thursday, December 
29 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Please RSVP at: 
http://www.twc.edu/online-information-session. Information is also available on 
TWC's website at www.twc.edu. If you have questions you are welcome to contact 
Meera Roy, UW's liaison to TWC, at meroy@uw.edu or 206-543-9456, or Reid May, 
Program Coordinator at The Washington Center, at Reid.May@twc.edu or 
202-238-7702. All applications must be approved by Meera prior to submission.
 
The spring quarter deadline is soon, January 13, but extensions will be granted 
as needed.
 
If you would like to apply for another quarter, upcoming application deadlines 
are:
  * Summer 2012, Competitive*: 2/17/12; Regular: 3/16/12
  * Autumn 2012, Early**: 1/20/12, Competitive*: 5/4/12, Regular: 6/15/12
  * Spring 2013, Early**: 5/21/12, Competitive*: 10/12/12, Regular: 1/11/13
  	* Deadline for eligibility for most scholarships
        ** See 
http://www.twc.edu/internships/dates-and-deadlines/early-deadlines for the list 
of organizations that require applications by the early deadline.
 
The spring deadline is quickly approaching, so we hope that you will either 
participate in the webinar or contact Meera or Reid soon.

Are you a junior interested in pursuing graduate study in the arts,
humanities, or social sciences? If so, you may be eligible to apply for the
Beinecke Scholarship (http://foundationcenter.org/grantmaker/beinecke/).
This scholarship provides $34,000 for graduate study to juniors of
exceptional ability and achievement. The UW is allowed to nominate one
student per year to compete for this national award.
 
 
 
To be eligible for this scholarship, a student must:
 
  *  Have demonstrated superior standards of intellectual ability, scholastic
     achievement and personal promise during his or her undergraduate career.
  *  Be a college junior pursuing a bachelor's degree during the 2011-2012
     academic year. "Junior" means a student who plans to continue full-time
     undergraduate study and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree
     between December 2012 and August 2013.
  *  Plan to enter a master's or doctoral program in the arts, humanities or
     social sciences. Students in the social sciences who plan to pursue
     graduate study in neuroscience should not apply for a Beinecke
     Scholarship. Professional programs (Law, Business, for example) are also
     not supported.

     Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
  *  Have a documented history of receiving need-based financial aid during
     his or her undergraduate years. Primary evidence of meeting this

     state or federal grants-in-aid. An institutional financial aid officer
     will be required to complete a Financial Data Sheet certifying that the
     student meets this criterion. During the selection process, the amount
     of financial need will be one of the factors considered with preference
     being given to candidates for whom the awarding of a scholarship would

     attend graduate school.

The UW Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards will be providing
one more information session about the Boren Undergraduate Scholarship for
undergraduate students to help orient them to the program and application
process:
  *  Wednesday, November 30, 4:30-5:20 in MGH 171
The Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program provides up to $20,000 for US
undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are
critical to US interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including
Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the
Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand are excluded. Most languages are supported, except those of Western
Europe.
 
Boren Scholarships are funded by the National Security Education Program
(NSEP), which focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study
deemed critical to U.S. national security. Applicants should identify how
their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career
goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, broadly defined.  NSEP
draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the scope
of national security has expanded to include not only the traditional
concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the
challenges of global society, including sustainable development,
environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and
migration, and economic competitiveness. Receipts of this scholarship do
incur a government service requirement, which for many students provides a
valuable foot in the federal employment door.
 
Undergraduate applicants must apply through UW to be considered for the
Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program. UW's campus deadline for
undergraduate applicants at all three campuses is January 11, 2012 for study
abroad programs during the 2012-13 academic year. Additional information
about UW's application process is available at
https://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/scholar/scholarships/s/boren.
 
Boren Graduate Fellowships are also available for graduate students, details
are at http://borenawards.org/boren_fellowship. There is no Boren campus
application process at the graduate level; the national deadline for the
Boren Graduate Fellowship is January 31, 2012. Helene Obradovich in the
Graduate School Office of Fellowships & Awards is the point of contact for
graduate students interested in this program (helene@uw.edu).
 
Thank you again for your efforts to let students know about these wonderful
opportunities!  
Sincerely,

The Associated Press and Google announce a new national scholarship program intended to foster digital and new media skills in student journalists. The Online News Association, the world’s largest membership organization of digital journalists, will administer the program.

The AP-Google Journalism and Technology Scholarship program will provide $20,000 scholarships for the 2012-13 academic year to six promising undergraduate or graduate students pursuing or planning to pursue degrees at the intersection of journalism, computer science and new media. The program is targeted to individual students creating innovative projects that further the ideals of digital journalism. A key goal is to promote geographic, gender and ethnic diversity, with an emphasis on rural and urban areas.
Our goal: To shine a light on the hidden treasures in schools across the country — the digital-minded journalists who will be the future of our industry.
Applications are now open for the 2012-13 academic year. Scholars will be chosen in Spring 2012.

“AP has long recognized how important and powerful new digital tools and knowledge can be in the hands of journalists,” said Sue Cross, AP senior vice president for the Americas. “The scholarship program, part of our ongoing relationship with Google, will help build these vital skills in a new generation of journalists.”

“So many students have new ideas for news, and with the right encouragement they will become leaders showcasing what’s possible through digital journalism,” said Nilka Thomas, manager of Global Diversity and Talent Inclusion, Google. “We hope this program with the AP and ONA encourages innovation at the grassroots level while also furthering the opportunities available for women and minorities considering the fields of computing, technology, and journalism.”

Irving Washington, consulting Scholarship Manager for ONA, will manage the application process. Washington is a nonprofit media education consultant who created new partnerships for the scholarship and internship programs for the National Association of Black Journalists, and managed scholarship, fellowship and internship programs as Diversity/Education Coordinator for the Radio-Television Digital News Foundation. He holds degrees in Journalism and Public Relations from Ball State University.

The scholarships are open to college sophomores or higher with at least one year of full-time undergraduate or graduate study remaining. Applicants must submit a project or concept that explains how his or her strategy moves digital journalism forward. Scholarship winners also will receive a one-year ONA membership and recognition at ONA’s 2012 conference in San Francisco. Read about the eligibility criteria and apply here.
“We’re proud to be part of the AP-Google Journalism and Technology Scholarship program,” said ONA Executive Director Jane McDonnell. “Our hope is to shine a light on the hidden treasures in schools across the country — the digital-minded journalists who will be the future of our industry.”

graduate students are eligible to apply, including foreign nationals
attending US universities (see complete eligibility details below).
 
The program provides scholarships for one academic year (2012-13) with the

UW is a partner university within this program, which gives UW students and
alumni several options for applying, depending on field:
  *  Applicants in all fields EXCEPT music, visual arts and performing arts*
     wishing to compete for UW's one priority nomination must submit their
     applications by the campus deadline of Oct. 31, 2011 at 12:00pm (noon).
     Priority nomination provides competition in a smaller pool of national
     applications.
  *  Applicants in all fields EXCEPT music, visual arts and performing arts*
     not wishing to compete for that priority nomination, but simply to
     compete in the general national application pool should submit their
     applications by the extended campus deadline of Nov. 10, 2011 at 12:00pm
     (noon). UW will mail all applications on to the DAAD national office by
     the national deadline on your behalf.
  *  Applicants in any field not wishing to apply through UW at all can mail
     their application materials directly to the DAAD national office,
     postmarked by the following national deadlines, based on field:
      +  November 1, 2011 (postmark): for all applicants in the fields of
         music, visual arts and performing arts
      +  November 15, 2011 (postmark): for all other applicants
  *  *Music, visual arts and performing arts applicants can apply directly to
     the national office by Nov. 1, or can have their application materials
     forwarded by UW. Please see an adviser for details and questions.

Two UW offices support students applying for the DAAD Study Scholarships,
answer questions, and accept application materials, based on student status.
Please feel free to contact us for further information or questions:
  *  Graduate students interested in applying should contact Helene
     Obradovich, Director of Fellowships & Awards in The Graduate School:
     helene@uw.edu, (206) 543-1070, G-1 Communications.
  *  Undergraduate students and Bachelor's alums interested in applying
     should contact Robin Chang, Assistant Director, Office of Merit
     Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards: robinc@uw.edu, (206) 543-2603, 171 MGH.

Eligibility Requirements:
  *  Graduating seniors, graduate students and recent graduates who have
     completed their Bachelor's degrees no longer than six years before the
     application deadline are welcome to apply. Students who are in the first
     year of a full Master's degree program in Germany may also apply to fund
     their second year of the Master's programs.
  *  Applicants in all academic fields are welcome to apply. For study in the
     fields of dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine, contact
     DAAD.
  *  If you are a graduating senior or a graduate student, you must be
     enrolled full-time at an accredited North American university at the
     time of application. (Those who have already completed an undergraduate
     degree do not need to be currently enrolled.)
  *  Recent graduates should have received their bachelor's degrees no longer
     than six years before the application deadline.
  *  Recent graduates who are currently in Germany (for no longer than one
     year at the time of application) are also eligible to apply.
  *  Applicants should be US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
     Foreign nationals are eligible if they have been full-time students at
     an accredited US or Canadian University for at least two years at the
     time of application.
  *  At the time of application, applicants may not be living in Germany for
     a period of more than one year.

Important Considerations for Applicants:
  *  Applicants for Master's programs should have a study proposal explaining
     why a particular program has been chosen and how it will further the
     applicant's educational and career goals. As German university deadlines
     are later than our deadline, you may not have yet been admitted to a
     German university; however, if already enrolled in Germany and applying
     for the second year of the Master?s, applicants must submit evidence of
     admission to a German university. Those beginning their Master?s do not
     need to submit any evidence of contact with a German institution (though
     it is recommended).
 
     Applicants for independent study are expected to have a well-defined
     study or research project that makes a stay in Germany essential and
     should have an invitation from an academic partner at a German
     university or research institution. Scholarship recipients are required
     to complete two courses per semester and obtain "Scheine" (certificates
     of credit) for them.
  *  Applicants in the arts, humanities and social sciences should have a
     good command of German.
  *  Applicants may not hold a DAAD grant and a grant from another German or
     German-American organization/German-Canadian organization concurrently
     for the same project. Prior recipients of a DAAD grant should contact
     DAAD New York before applying to determine their eligibility status.

Luce Scholars Program
 
Information Sessions:  May 23, 2011 and July 26, 2011
  
Specifically designed for those who have had limited experience of Asia or 
in Asian Studies, the Luce Scholars Program provides an opportunity for a year of professional placement in an Asian country. http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx
  
The UW is able to nominate 3 students per year to compete nationally for the opportunity to spend 12 months in Asia. The program provides stipends, language training and individualized professional placement in Asia for fifteen 
to eighteen young Americans each year. This is great opportunity for those with little or no prior experience in Asian countries to add this valuable perspective to their future career interests!
   
During the current application cycle for the 2012-13 program, applicants must be American citizens who, by July 1, 2012, will have received at least a bachelor's degree and will not have reached their 30th birthday.
 
Applicants should have a record of high achievement, outstanding leadership 
ability, and a clearly defined career interest with evidence of potential for professional accomplishment. Those who already have significant experience  in Asia or Asian studies are not eligible for the Luce Scholars Program. Additional details are provided in the Program Summary below.
  
Information sessions covering the program basics, application and nomination  process will be held:
 
  Monday, May 23, 2011, 2:30pm, Sieg 224
 
  Tuesday, July 26, 3:30pm, MGH 258 
 
Please RSVP to attend at
 
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/scholarq/81457.
  
Campus application deadline: Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011. 
 
Program Summary: 
 
The Luce Scholars Program represents a major effort by the Henry Luce Foundation to provide an awareness of Asia among potential leaders in American society. Launched in 1974, the Luce Scholars Program is aimed at a group of highly qualified young Americans in a variety of professional fields. It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not otherwise have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come to know Asia. 
 
Luce Scholars have backgrounds in virtually any field other than Asian studies, including but hardly limited to medicine and public health, the arts, law, science, environmental studies, international development, and journalism.
 
Placements can be made in the following countries or regions in East and Southeast Asia: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. 
 
In spite of its name, the Luce Scholars Program is experiential rather than 
academic in nature. Some Scholars have been attached to Asian universities in teaching or research capacities, but none of the participants is formally 
enrolled as a student in a college or university and no academic credit is extended. Past placements have included an architect's atelier in Tokyo; a
public health program in Banda Aceh; a Gobi regional initiative in Ulaanbaatar; a dance theatre in Kuala Lumpur; an agricultural and environmental center in Hanoi; a human rights commission in Seoul; a pediatric hospital in Bangkok; a TV network in Beijing; a national museum in Siem Reap; an international arbitration centre in Singapore; and English-language newspapers, local governmental agencies and NGOs in diverse fields throughout East and Southeast Asia. 
 
Professional placements are arranged for each Scholar on the basis of his or  her individual interest, background, qualifications, and experience. Each Scholar spends July and August studying the language of the placement country, and the work assignments run for approximately ten months from September until July of the following year. The placements are intended primarily as learning opportunities for the Scholars. Certainly it is hoped that a Scholar will be able to make a professional contribution to the host organization, but equally important is a willingness to learn some of the many things that Asia has to teach. 
 
2010 UW graduate Jesse Burk-Rafel was selected as a Luce Scholar in 2010 and  spent 2010-2011 in Mongolia under the program. Read the UW News article about Jesse at http://www.washington.edu/news/archive/56129.

THE TRAIL BLAZERS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Offered in 2011 in honor of George B. Kniert


Background:
The Trail Blazers is a volunteer organization that contributes its time, energy and knowledge toward helping the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Members participate in a variety of studies, conservation and wilderness protection activities, camp cleanups, stream restoration and trail maintenance, but the fish stocking and surveying activities have given the Trail Blazers their focus that has endured since 1933.

George was an active member of the Trail Blazers for 53 years.  An avid fisherman from youth to adulthood he joined the Trail Blazers in 1948 after his service in the 26th Air Service Squadron in World War II.  Modestly, George played a profound role in the Trailblazers for decades.  Year after year he was highly active in the outdoors stocking and surveying a profound number of lakes.  He travelled to remote areas of the Cascades exploring and expanding the network of lakes to be enjoyed by fishermen, naming 14 alpine lakes in the Cascades along the way.  His dedication to the club was not only demonstrated in the field but also within the administration.  George was a mentor to many and a motivating agent of the club through the purist of the Trail Blazer’s dedication of “better alpine fishing”.  

The Trail Blazers, Inc. are most interested in assisting students who seek a career that will enhance the management of wilderness, natural resources and fisheries science in Washington State’s mountains.

Eligibility:
To be eligible for consideration, students must complete the attached application form and submit it along with the attachments requested. It must be mailed by May 1st of the year of the award.

Student Selection:
Applicants will be judged on the criteria of scholarship, leadership, integrity, and other personal achievements. Strong preference will be given to those applicants who clearly demonstrate an interest in pursuing careers that involve professional work in Washington’s high country. (Examples: forester, fisheries scientist, geologist, wildlife biologist, botanist, or wilderness recreation specialist.) Since students usually do not know for certain where their professional careers will begin, the applicant should give some detail as to the probability of their working in Washington State. Applicants with existing or planned research work in Washington’s high country will be given additional preference.

Awards:
One qualified student will be selected to receive a $1,000 one-time scholarship.
Applications are available at the Trail Blazers website: www.watrailblazers.org. Email completed application materials to mindapaul@hotmail.com.

Instructions for entering the 2011 National Press Photographers Foundation Scholarship Competition 

 

Organizing your Portfolio Materials 
Entries may be single photographs, multiple picture stories or multimedia stories.   You must have a minimum of six entries with a maximum of 12 entries. The total 
number of entries may be any combination of single photographs, multiple picture 
stories or multimedia stories.  

Multiple picture stories have a minimum of two pictures and a maximum of 10 pictures. A multiple picture story, though it has more than one picture, counts as a single entry of the minimum required six entries. 

All multimedia entries are supplied as links to where they live on the Internet. The URL links must take the judges directly to the video or other form of multimedia, not to a personal home page where judges must select other menu items or links to get to the story. Popular places for videos are YouTube or Vimeo for stand alone videos outside of a news website such a student media site. Any Internet URL is fine as long as it takes judges directly to the story. 

Note that the judges unanimously feel that portfolios that do not include at least one multimedia entry will not be competitive. Multimedia is defined as video and/or photos combined with edited audio, in any format, including video, slide shows and interactive pieces. A multimedia story with only a music track doesn’t count. You must have originally gathered sound that helps tell the story. 

What do I Need Before Entering? 

You will need your faculty advisor’s contact information: name, phone and e-­-mail. Contact your faculty advisor and request a recommendation. That recommendation is sent directly from your advisor but your application is not complete without it.  The contest coordinator will acknowledge receipt of the recommendation to the faculty advisor sending it. See the FAQ section for the contest coordinator’s contact information. Stay in contact with your advisor to make sure the recommendation was received. 

There are three short essay questions you may wish to prepare ahead of entering so 
that you can copy and paste the text into the boxes provided. These questions are: 

•    List your academic and journalistic accomplishments. 
•    Explain your need for a scholarship. Be specific. 
•    Briefly state your goals in visual journalism. 

 
 

You will need to know your overall GPA and the point system is based on. For example, your entry might be “3.5 on a 4-­-point system.“ You will also need your GPA of courses within your major.

You will need a screen snap of your multimedia entries, which will be used to create a thumbnail for your entry. Both Windows and Macs allow this. Click on your desktop and use the “Help” menu to search for “screen snap” or “screen grab.” For Macs:

To take a picture of part of your screen:

•  Press [command]+[shift]+[4]     (depending on your keyboard, the Command key may have a cloverleaf or apple on it instead of the word 'command'.)

•  Click at a corner of the area you want to capture, drag the pointer across the area, and release the mouse button.

•  Use image-­-editing software to convert the PNG format screen grab to a JPG
format.

Organize your multiple picture stories into their own folders. Organize your stills into a folder.
Open direct links to your multimedia entries in browser windows so that the URL
may be copied and pasted into the entry form. This will prevent typos.

Preparing Pictures

Each picture should be less than 2 MB in size, and at least 700 pixels on the long side
(1350-­-2700 pixels at 72 DPI preferred). The system will automatically create
smaller thumbnails. All pictures must be in the jpg format.

How to Enter

Go to http://www.nppa.org/competitions/scholarships/ to enter. If you are not already a member of NPPA, you must create a login. Membership is not required to enter or create a login. If you are already a student member of NPPA, login with your membership login.

The entry system is straightforward. Once you complete the personal information on the opening page, you will be able to enter your portfolio entries. You will need a thumbnail jpg image for your multimedia entries. A screen snap will work for the thumbnail. Once the first entry for a multiple picture story is entered, other pictures
 

are entered one at a time. The thumbnails will appear as a group and may be reordered after all pictures are entered. Don’t forget to enter captions.

Once you have made six entries, you may continue on to the maximum of 12 or simply close your browser. There is no button to click to exit; just close your browser. You may edit later. See the FAQ section below.

FAQ

I am a high school student that will be attending college next fall. Can I enter? 

No. The competition is for continuing college students. You will be eligible to enter in the spring term of your first college year. If successful, your scholarship would apply to the sophomore year.

I will graduate in May. Can I still enter? 

No. Not unless you are a continuing graduate student. We do have one scholarship that is specifically for a continuing graduate student and two others that may be awarded to a graduate student. For undergraduate students, you must have a minimum of one term or semester to complete after this spring. Likewise, graduate students must also have at least one term or semester left before graduating.

Do I need a letter of recommendation to enter? 

Yes. The form of the recommendation may be a letter or a PDF or e-­-mail (preferred)
sent directly to the contest coordinator:

James W. Brown, Ph.D.
10710 Pine Bluff Drive
Fishers, IN 46037

Or by email to: jwbrown@nppf.org

Recommendations must arrive by the contest deadline.

Do I have to be a student member of NPPA to enter?  

No. But we recommend membership for its obvious education benefits to you and your developing career as a photojournalist.

I entered the minimum six entries and closed my browser but now want to make an 
additional entry. What do I do? 

Go to http://www.nppa.org/competitions/scholarships/ and login with your previous login. You need to affirm your agreement to all the scholarship application rules each time you update your application. Those checkboxes are at the bottom of the page and you will probably have to scroll down to see them. Once you check the boxes and click the “Submit” button below them, you will see your previous entries
 

and be able to edit them or submit new entries up to the limit of 12. You may make edits up to the deadline for entries.

Do I need to enter captions for my pictures?

Yes.

I am a still photographer. I don’t know how to do multimedia. Should I enter anyway?

Unless you have at least one multimedia entry, your portfolio will not be competitive. Multimedia is defined as some method of synchronizing sound with your pictures. This could be a video with moving pictures or still pictures with a synchronized sound track.

How do synchronize a sound track with my pictures?

In making a video with a video camera, sound is automatically synchronized with the pictures. All video editing programs allow the importation of still pictures as clips as well as an independent sound track. The features of the video editing program are used to synchronize sound to picture. Another popular program to synchronize still pictures to a soundtrack is Soundslides. (http://soundslides.com ). A popular open source sound-­-editing program is Audacity. (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ).

I think I might want to become a student member of the National Press Photographers
Association. How do I do that? http://nppa.org/about_us/why_join/fees.html I have more questions. Who do I contact?

The scholarships place your students into a summer internship at a community newspaper that is a member of WNPA, and are
successful experiences for students and newspapers alike. Students receive a modest stipend ($1,000). I've attached an
explanatory letter from the Foundation president, Scott Wilson of the Port Townsend Leader, and sample essays from three 2010
interns. The essays provide a clear picture of the student interns' 
experiences, and we hope they inspire your top students to
apply.

Applicants must be in their second, third or fourth year and have at least a 3.0 GPA.

Students selected for the scholarships must arrange their own internship, i.e. apply and be accepted as an intern, and send the Foundation written confirmation of their plans by April 23, 2010, or the full scholarship will be forfeited.

The 240-hour internship must be served at a WNPA-member newspaper. Students are free to accept a paid internship, though they must also notify the WNPA Foundation of those arrangements by April 22. The Foundation’s scholarship stipend would be in addition to any salary the host newspaper provides.

Deadline to apply is Feb. 11.    The dates are Feb. 11, 2011 (apps due in our office) and Feb. 9, 2011 (post-marked 
deadline, so the app gets to us by Feb. 11).

You must be nominated by a COM faculty member, so talk with Mike Henderson, Karen Rathe, Roger Simpson, etc.

We accomplish our mission of rewarding academic excellence and providing financial support to those who need it by distributing Awards in the following way: twenty (20) Grant Awards of $10,000 each to students that apply on the basis of financial need, and twenty (20) Merit Awards of $2,500 each to students that apply on the basis of merit only and not on financial need.

The PanHellenic Awards are available to all U.S. students of Hellenic descent, currently pursuing an undergraduate degree. Applicants' scholastic records are reviewed and constitute the basis for granting the awards. Those applying on the basis of financial need must also provide the required financial documentation.

The 2011 Pride Foundation/GSBA Scholarship Application will be available on
October 15 at www.PrideFoundationScholar.org
 
This year, $500,000 is available in scholarships to support education and
leadership development for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer
students of any age; students who have an LGBT parent; and students who are
straight allies and are committed to civil rights for the LGBTQ community.
Since 1990, more than $3 million in scholarships have been awarded. Pride
Foundation and the GSBA Scholarship Fund would like to encourage you to
share this excellent opportunity for students of any age or sexual
orientation from Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Washington who are
pursuing any post-secondary education (including community college, public
or private colleges & universities, trade apprenticeships, or certificate
programs)! There are fifty different types of scholarships with awards up to
$10,000 - but only one web-based application to complete!
 
Applications can be completed online at www.PrideFoundationScholar.org and
are due by 5:00 p.m. PST on Friday, January 31, 2011.
 
It is incredibly important you share this scholarship announcement with all
students! LGBTQ students often do not have access to traditional means of
support from families making it more compelling for organizations and
schools to work together to reach these students. Our scholarships have the
power to make a huge financial and emotional impact on their lives! Please
post the enclosed posters prominently and announce these scholarships in
your bulletin, newsletter, or student newspaper. Some LGBT students may not
be ?out? to others and straight ally students are often unaware that our
scholarships are available to them as well. We rely on them seeing our
scholarship posters or hearing the announcement to know that our
scholarships exist.
 
To further assist students applying for these scholarships, we will hold
Scholarship Application Workshops throughout the Pacific Northwest this fall
- for specific times and locations or to request a workshop, please email
scholarships@pridefoundation.org or call 800-735-7287 x110.
If you would like to learn more about this history and mission of our
organizations, please visit www.pridefoundation.org or www.thegsba.org. We
look forward to receiving applications from your students and thank you for
your help spreading the word and supporting tomorrow?s leaders today!
 
With Pride,

The Luce Scholars Program is a fantastic opportunity open to graduating seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students in all fields EXCEPT Asian Studies. It provides a year-long fully funded internship opportunity in a variety of Asian countries and is specifically geared toward those who have not spent significant time in Asia already (no language skills required). This year's application cycle is for those seeking to spend 2011-2012 in Asia. 

Graduating seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students at UW
are encouraged to apply for the Luce Scholars Program
(http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx) for 2011-2012. The UW is able to
nominate 3 students per year to compete for the opportunity to spend 12
months in Asia. The program provides stipends, language training and
individualized professional placement in Asia for fifteen to eighteen young
Americans each year.
 
Applicants must be American citizens who, by July 1 of the year they enter
the program (2011), will have received at least a bachelor's degree and will
not have reached their 30th birthday. Applicants should have a record of
high achievement, outstanding leadership ability, and a clearly defined
career interest with evidence of potential for professional accomplishment.
Those who already have significant experience in Asia or Asian studies are
not eligible for the Luce Scholars Program. Additional details are provided
in the Program Summary below.
 
Campus Application Deadline: Sept. 15, 2010. The online application is
available at
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/scholarq/81416.

Program Summary:
 
The Luce Scholars Program represents a major effort by the Henry Luce
Foundation to provide an awareness of Asia among potential leaders in
American society. Launched in 1974, the Luce Scholars Program is aimed at a
group of highly qualified young Americans in a variety of professional
fields. It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended
for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not
otherwise have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come
to know Asia.
 
Luce Scholars have backgrounds in virtually any field other than Asian
studies, including but hardly limited to medicine and public health, the
arts, law, science, environmental studies, international development, and
journalism.
 
Placements can be made in the following countries or regions in East and
Southeast Asia: Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan,
Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan,
Thailand, and Vietnam.
 
In spite of its name, the Luce Scholars Program is experiential rather than
academic in nature. Some Scholars have been attached to Asian universities
in teaching or research capacities, but none of the participants is formally
enrolled as a student in a college or university and no academic credit is
extended. Past placements have included an architect's atelier in Tokyo; a
public health program in Banda Aceh; a Gobi regional initiative in
Ulaanbaatar; a dance theatre in Kuala Lumpur; an agricultural and
environmental center in Hanoi; a human rights commission in Seoul; a
pediatric hospital in Bangkok; a TV network in Beijing; a national museum in
Siem Reap; an international arbitration centre in Singapore; and
English-language newspapers, local governmental agencies and NGOs in diverse
fields throughout East and Southeast Asia.
 
Professional placements are arranged for each Scholar on the basis of his or
her individual interest, background, qualifications, and experience. Each
Scholar spends July and August studying the language of the placement
country, and the work assignments run for approximately ten months from
September until July of the following year. The placements are intended
primarily as learning opportunities for the Scholars. Certainly it is hoped
that a Scholar will be able to make a professional contribution to the host
organization, but equally important is a willingness to learn some of the
many things that Asia has to teach.
 
 
2010 UW graduate Jesse Burk-Rafel was selected as a Luce Scholar in February
and will spend 2010-2011 in Mongolia under the program. Read the University
Week article about Jesse at http://uwnews.org/uweek/article.aspx?id=56129.

AWC Student Chapters

AWC has its roots at the University of Washington (UW), where a group of women journalism students founded the organization in 1909 as Theta Sigma Phi.

Today, there are professional and student chapters across the country. In Washington state, there are AWC student chapters at the UW and Washington State University (WSU).

The AWC Student Chapter at the UW welcomes all communications students—any student from another Puget Sound-area college or university is welcome to join the AWC Student Chapter at the UW.

Journalism Scholarships
Four scholarships totaling $8,000 are being offered by the Western Washington Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. The $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to undergraduate students majoring in journalism or communications at two-year or four-year colleges in the state of Washington. Awards are for the 2010-2011 school year.

Applicants need not be members of SPJ but must intend to pursue a journalism career. A panel of journalists will review scholarship applications. Scholarship winners will be notified in May. They are encouraged to attend our annual Excellence in Journalism awards banquet, when the scholarships are formally announced. This year, the event will be on May 22 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.

The deadline this year is tighter than usual. The reason is the SPJ board wanted to continue this year, as we have the past several years, to offer four general scholarships.  We made this decision because we know that due to the economic downturn, many students need financial assistance more than ever. However, due to the number of applications we receive, we need ample time to review and evaluate each request. 

Please send the following in a single packet so that it is postmarked by March 1, 2010. Applications received prior to the deadline are appreciated. It gives the review committee more time to review the submitted materials. Please send the materials to:

which can be challenging. This Personal Statement Workshop will provide
students with essential information to develop an understanding of not only
writing about their interests, eligibility and suitability, but also how
their statements provide evidence of their achievements. Space is limited,

Washington, DC- The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA) today announced a call for entries for the Leroy F. Aarons scholarship and the Kay Longcope scholarship.  These scholarships are awarded annually in honor of two prominent journalists.  Applications are available online and will be accepted until January 31, 2010.
  
The Leroy F. Aarons scholarship was established in 2005 to honor NLGJA
founder Leroy "Roy" Aarons and to continue his work of fostering fair and
accurate coverage of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues
from within the news industry.  This annual scholarship will provide up to
$5,000 to an LGBT student who plans a career in journalism and is committed
to furthering NLGJA's mission of fair and accurate coverage of the LGBT
community.
 
The Kay Longcope Scholarship was established in 2008 in memory of journalist Kay Longcope, who co-founded the Texas Triangle, a LGBT weekly newspaper that would eventually grow to become the major source for all things gay in Texas, covering the gamut from news to art, relationships to music reviews.  Longcope is also widely regarded as the first out reporter at the Boston Globe, where she worked for over twenty years.
  
The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association is an organization of
journalists, media professionals, educators and students who work within the
news industry to foster fair and accurate coverage of lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender issues.  NLGJA partnered with The Philadelphia Foundation
(TPF), a community foundation established in 1918, to administer the NLGJA
Student Scholarship Fund.  The Delaware Valley Legacy Fund, a component fund of TPF serving to advance philanthropy within the LGBT communities, will
disburse the scholarship awards upon receiving recommendations from NLGJA during each award period.

The UW is able to nominate one student per year to compete for this national

a campus application, which will be available shortly from our websiteat http://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/scholar/scholarships/s/beinecke

------

Are you a junior interested in pursuing graduate study in the arts,
humanities, or social sciences? If so, you may be eligible to apply for the
Beinecke Scholarship (http://foundationcenter.org/grantmaker/beinecke/).
This scholarship provides $34,000 for graduate study to juniors of
exceptional ability and achievement. The UW is allowed to nominate one
student per year to compete for this national award.
 
 
 
To be eligible for this scholarship, a student must:
 
  *  Have demonstrated superior standards of intellectual ability, scholastic
     achievement and personal promise during his or her undergraduate career.
  *  Be a college junior pursuing a bachelor's degree during the 2009-2010
     academic year.  "Junior" means a student who plans to continue full-time
     undergraduate study and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree
     between December 2010 and August 2011.
  *  Plan to enter a master's or doctoral program in the arts, humanities or
     social sciences.  Students in the social sciences who plan to pursue
     graduate study in neuroscience should not apply for a Beinecke
     Scholarship.
  *  Be a United States citizen or a United States national from American
     Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
  *  Have a documented history of receiving need-based financial aid during
     his or her undergraduate years. Primary evidence of meeting this
     criterion is a student's history of receiving need-based institutional,
     state or federal grants-in-aid. An institutional financial aid officer
     will be required to complete a Financial Data Sheet certifying that the
     student meets this criterion. In the selection process, the amount of
     financial need will not be a major determining factor, nevertheless,
     preference is given to candidates for whom the awarding of a scholarship
     would significantly increase the likelihood of the student's being able
     to attend graduate school.
 
To learn more about this opportunity and the campus application process,

The Mary Gates Endowment funds hundreds of University of Washington undergraduate students every year through Research, Leadership, Venture and Honors scholarships. These scholarships support students to engage in activities that enhance their undergraduate experience, encouraging student learning both in and outside the classroom.


There will be only one opportunity for students to apply this year.  The
deadlines are in autumn quarter so students must start preparing their
applications when they return to school in order to submit strong
applications for very competitive processes.  With reduced funding available
we expect that competition for Leadership Scholarships and Research
Scholarships will be extremely high.  Both types of scholarships are
two-quarter awards totaling $4,000 and paid out quarterly beginning winter
or spring quarter.

Four scholarships totaling $8,000 are being offered by the Western
Washington Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. The $2,000
scholarships will be awarded to undergraduate students majoring in
journalism or communications at two-year or four-year colleges in the
state of Washington. Awards are for the 2009-2010 school year.
 
 
 
Applicants need not be members of SPJ but must intend to pursue a
journalism career. A panel of journalists will review scholarship
applications. Scholarship winners will be notified in May. They are
encouraged to attend our annual Excellence in Journalism awards banquet,
when the scholarships are formally announced. This year, the event will
be on May 30.
 
 
 
The deadline this year is tighter than usual. The reason is the SPJ board
wanted to continue this year, as we did last year, to offer four general
scholarships. To do that, we had to find other places to cut our budget.
We made this decision because we know that due to the economic downturn,
many students need financial assistance more than ever.
 
In addition to the above scholarships, a separate $2,000 June Anderson Almquist 
scholarship will be awarded to a University of Washington woman undergraduate 
majoring in print journalism. If you know of a UW student who might qualify for 
this award, please ask her to contact the communication department advising 
office for more information.

Purpose
Mary Gates Leadership Scholarships encourage students to develop their leadership abilities through practical experience, personal reflection and in community with mentors and peers. With the support of a Leadership Scholarship, you can devote more time to pursuing an activity or project that interests you and that will allow you to expand your leadership capacity. In the application process, we ask you to articulate your own understandings of leadership, what you want to learn, and how you think the activity you have chosen will support your learning goals. Additionally, you must identify a mentor to provide you guidance and encouragement throughout your application process and award period. 

We offer two-quarter ($4,000) and three-quarter ($6,000) scholarships, depending on the duration of your involvement in your leadership initiative. Awards are made quarterly in $2,000 installments. 

Eligibility Requirements 
Candidates must be UW undergraduate students, enrolled full time (at least 12 credits), pursuing a bachelor’s degree, and must be planning or involved in a project of their own design starting the quarter they apply or before. 

Scholarship recipients must continue to be actively engaged with their leadership project and remain full-time students (except summer quarter—students need only be enrolled for one credit to receive funds). 

Applications are accepted from UW Bothell, Seattle, and Tacoma students. Candidates do not need to be U.S. citizens.

If you receive need-based financial aid, please click here to learn more about how receiving a Mary Gates scholarship may affect your financial aid package.

Information is available to help you think about your leadership and learning goals and developing your relationship with your mentor.  You may also find the profiles of past Mary Gates scholarship recipients informative. 

When you are ready to prepare your application for submission, begin with the Application Instructions to find out what you will need in order to apply.  Applications are accepted using our online form.

At the same time, you will need to identify a mentor who will write you a letter supporting your leadership application. Read more about Finding & Developing a Strong Mentor Relationship. 

Review Process
All complete applications are reviewed and discussed by the reading committee and candidates are evaluated based, in part, on their articulation of leadership, learning and project goals and their plans for achieving them. Compelling candidates are selected to meet with the interview committee for further consideration. 

You may check on the status of your application by logging in to your online application. We will also send you regular email messages as your application status changes. The whole review process takes between 3 and 6 weeks. All students and mentors are sent notification of the final award decision. 

Scholar Obligations

You will be asked to complete one or two brief surveys during your award period;

You are also encouraged to participate in activities and events planned by the program staff and the Community of Mary Gates Scholars.

------------------

From one of our majors who did this, last summer - 

Becoming a Chips Quinn scholar is more than just receiving an internship;it is an entry into a tapped-in and well-connected fraternity of journalists, editors, and media persons. It is a program that focuses on shaking up the demographic make-up of newsrooms by promoting diversity inthe ranks of working reporters and editors. It is no secretthat opportunities in this industry can often be tied to who you know. 

The Chips Quinn program was created with the goal of promoting diversity innewsrooms by giving a leg up to individuals who otherwise might not have nepotistical connections. Becoming a Chipster can fast-track young journalists into decent reporting jobs in some major media markets. As John Quinn, former editor-in-chief of USA Today and the patriarch and founder of the Chips Quinn Scholars program is fond of saying: "Once you make it overt he wall, throw a line back over the wall so others can follow... and don't let the bastards get you down." 

Chips Quinn scholars recieve a paid internship (guaranteeing a salary of atleast $500 a week), a $500 housing stipend, a trip to Washington D.C. for the program's orientation, a trip to Vanderbilt University in Nashvillefor a week-long course in multimedia production, and a scholarship award of $1,000.

But though it sounds sappy, it's the people I met through the program that I appreciate the most. Scholars are placed in internships with newspapers such as the AustinAmerican Statesman, The Contra Costa Times, The Nashville Tennessean, as well as others.

Bio for Carolyn J. Harris

Music defines much of my life.  It’s in the Harris genes.  Most of my family sing or play an instrument, some by ear, some with training, always for fun.  (The tone-deaf members are a great audience!)  You could say I’m genetically wired for tunes.

Early on, I took piano lessons and joined school choruses and church choirs.  Fifty-plus years later I’m still singing.  Thanks to my parents and where we lived, I learned to appreciate music of all kinds.  That from the Scottish highlands still resonates within me all these years after hearing that first “love-it-or-hate-it” whirl of the bagpipes.

I grew up in Queens, New York, so family trips into the “City” (yes, there was one before Seattle!) were routine and frequent to hear the symphony or the opera, see the ballet or go to a museum.  We eventually moved to the “country” (on the New York-Connecticut border) where we found Scottish music and activities abundant.

The lower Connecticut area was fortunate to have a family who annually opened their estate to one of the largest Scottish Gatherings in the northeast.  For years my family attended over the July 4th weekend, and it was there I first experienced the soul-stirring sound of the pipes.  A schoolmate was a Scottish dancing champion, encouraged I imagine by her grandfather, Archibald MacLeish.  There was a thriving curling club, which my father loved, just 20 minutes from our house.  And still tucked in my bookshelves is a volume from childhood, Jane Porter’s The Scottish Chiefs, memorably illustrated by N. C. Wyeth.

This book was one of the classics my two sons read growing up in Connecticut, where the younger Bill, a nurse, still lives with his wife and two daughters.  Jim, his older brother, is a physician’s assistant in Florida, and he and his wife have two sons.  The rest of my immediate family, my parents and my sister and her family, all live back east as well.  Our neighbors and friends—including all of you, of course—have become my surrogate family.

Like many women I worked, both back east and in California.  Before retiring, my positions were in advertising, marketing and public relations, and in high-tech, early on as an executive administrative assistant, then later as a buyer in industry.  To prove it, you can see one of my “modeling” jobs in Business Week if you have an ancient copy around somewhere.  The issue featured the latest leading edge technology, infrared, and there I am in side-by-side photos, a portrait and a multi-hued thermogram (a “temperature” picture).  What a perk in high tech that was!  State-of-the-art technology is where I stayed throughout my purchasing career, where I supported R&D and manufacturing of such commodities as semiconductors, microscopes, and chemical assay and medical equipment.

What “leisure” time there was focused often—and still does—on music but also included working on various church boards, volunteering, writing and reading.  These days there seems less extra time than when we worked!  How did we ever get everything done?

So now, after I’d had a family, worked, built a couple of houses, been divorced and widowed, moved across the country, become a grandmother, I thought retirement would be “ordinary” and “quiet.”  Instead, I experienced new words like “downsizing,” “frequent flier miles” and “it’s a braw bricht minlicht nicht the nicht.”  But I was not prepared for my ultimate Scottish experience, my loving partner in life, my most unexpected blessing—Art!  He’s certainly had his own adventures our life together.


Bio for Art Henderson

Art, as we know him, was born in Manchester (England, tsk, tsk, tsk !!!) and named Noel Arthur Henderson. He hopes that the Scots will forgive this, but he had to be near his mother at that time. His home, prior to coming to the USA, was in Dundee, Scotland, and life involved Church, Scouting, Boys Brigade, Youth Groups, Rugby, Football, Bicycle Racing and Farming (part-time). He enjoyed camping and fishing, then taught Phys. Ed. in the youth organizations, and latterly worked at Timex. His present hobbies are limited to travel, fishing and treasure hunting, but he is still listening for that “cache” sound .

Leaving school at age 14, he embarked on an Engineering Prep. course and was fortunate to be selected for a five-year apprenticeship in the Textile and Machine Tool Industry. The Company was to pay part of his education expenses that could not have been met otherwise. This experience taught him the importance of mutual respect, commitment and accountability, that are still part of his everyday life. 

Playing local football for many years he developed a love for the game that continues today (thanks to Fox Soccer Channel) and he subsequently refereed professionally in Europe and here in the USA.

Two years spent in Germany with the Royal Air Force (occupation forces) were followed by more mechanical and electrical engineering studies, and resultant Membership in the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London. This provided the key to a visa, and in January 1963 he became part of the “Brain Drain”, headed for USA and Silicon Valley to study electronics.

After being in this country for only a short time, he discovered that his name (Noel) indicated he came “in season” once-a-year (which is why he started to use his middle name!). Then (for some reason) his employer (FMC Corp.) “suggested” that he become a member of the Toastmasters International Club meeting at the company, which “would assist in clarification of communications”. Bah Humbug!!! Since it was not too bad an idea, he spent over 30 years in Toastmasters, becoming District Four Governor for the San Francisco/Salinas district (one of the largest of 65 throughout the world). As a volunteer he was four years on the American Cancer Society Board of Directors, coordinated their speakers’ bureau and was a public education speaker for over 30 years, receiving a “Volunteer of the Year” award. 

He continued his church activity, becoming Moderator in his San Jose Congregational Church and Vice-Moderator for Northern California. His three sons and one daughter (Scots) have all benefited greatly from being in the USA, and he has a wonderful relationship (over 40 years now) with his three step-children, one of whom (Carol Murphy) teaches at Bellevue Christian school in Woodinville and lives ten minutes walk away in Trilogy at Redmond Ridge.

Prior to the death of his wife, Audrey, early in 2002, both of our families were members of Cambrian Park United Methodist Church in San Jose, California. Art and I were both widowed and assisted each other with settling estates and house sales, and now we are sharing life together in a new environment. We are so pleased to be part of this group and love the fellowship we’ve experienced.
