THE ARMY NURSE CORPS ASSOCATION - 2010 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Army Nurse Corps Association is seeking applications from qualified students, in conjunction with their college or university (hereafter referred to as “school”) for the 2010 Scholarship Program. The 2010 scholarship is named in honor of Captain Gussie M. Jones, AN, who died of non-battle related causes in Iraq. She was the first African-American Army Nurse to die while assigned to a theater of operations.
For 2010, some of the application processes have been changed and differ from your experiences with the scholarship program in past years. The major change involves the application being initiated directly by the student(s). The process will require a comprehensive letter from the Dean of the School or his/her representative which will be an integral part of the student(s) application. Previously, the school submitted an application for an Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) scholarship grant which was awarded to the school. The majority of schools submitted an application on behalf of a specific student(s). In 2010, a new application form will be initiated by the student. He/she will also have the responsibility for coordinating the school’s input to his/her application. The association hopes these changes will eliminate some of the confusion associated with the previous process. The success of the student’s application for the $3,000.00 scholarship will depend equally on the application and the school’s input concerning the school and student. More than one student may apply from a school but each student will have to submit a separate application with separate supporting documentation. In the past, some schools would apply on behalf of several students, but a single scholarship grant was awarded to the school as specified in ANCA policy at the time. This process had some inherent inequities.
ANCA will continue to rely heavily on the dissemination of scholarship information through the school’s communication channels. The attached “Army Nurse Corps Association 2010 Scholarship Program” flyer contains an introduction of the scholarship eligibility and application process. This flyer does not carry a copyright, so can be reproduced by the school. The flyer outlines five categories of students who are eligible to apply. These categories do focus on students with a current or previous relationship to a component of the U.S. Army. The ANCA scholarships are made possible by donations from Army Nurses and their desire is to assist such students. ANCA has also increased the number of scholarships to be awarded in 2010. The cutoff date for submission of application is April 1, 2010. The school will still be notified if the applicant is selected.
As stated in the flyer, complete information about eligibility and the application process, to include necessary forms and content requirements, is outlined in the “ANCA Scholarship Program Guidelines and Application” available for downloading, and in some cases completion, at the ANCA website http://e-anca.org under the “Scholarship” tab. A copy of this document is attached for the school’s reference and use as desired.
Questions should be sent by e-mail to education@e-anca.org, or through the “Contact Us” page (Department Routing : Scholarship) on the website. Our mailing address is: Army Nurse Corps Association, Scholarship Program; PO Box 39235; San Antonio, TX 78218-1235.
In advance, thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to hearing from you and your students.

All-expenses-paid summer program for high school student journalists from low-income backgrounds that will take place for 10 days in August on the campus of Princeton University. The program is entering its ninth year; since 2002, more than 165 students from high schools across the country have been selected to participate in the program. They were taught by journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Miami Herald, The New Republic and The New Yorker; they covered Yankees, Mets, Jets and Liberty games and held a press conference with New Jersey's secretary of state; they met with Princeton University's president and dean of admissions; they received counseling on their college applications from our staff, which consists of Princeton University alumni and undergraduates; and they published their own newspaper.
Please feel free to nominate as many students as you have who are interested. Applications are accepted from several students within the same school.
The application process will take place in two parts. For the first part, students should fill out the attached application, and then email it to sjpapplication@gmail.com as a Microsoft Word attachment. (If the student does not have access to Microsoft Word, the student should just copy and paste the text of the application into an email.) Before emailing us the application, students should name the document using the following format: Lastname.Firstname.doc. So, if the student's name is Mary Jones, the title of the document will be Jones.Mary.doc. In addition, the student should type his or her name and high school in the body of the email and put only the name of the Word document (e.g., Jones.Mary.doc) in the subject line of the email. The application must be received by 11:59 p.m. ET on February 5, 2010. No extensions will be given for any reason.
In the second round of the application process, finalists will be interviewed by the program directors—either in person or over the phone—and they will be asked to provide printed copies of the following items via U.S. mail: an official transcript; the first page of the 2008 (or 2009, if available) income-tax return form (the 1040 or 1040EZ form) of their custodial parent(s)/guardian(s), or a signed statement by their parent(s)/guardian( s) saying that their income is below the level at which they would be required to file income tax returns; a recommendation letter from a teacher; and clips from their high school newspaper or other publication (optional).
To be eligible for the program, students must meet the following qualifications:
- They must currently be juniors in high school.
- They must live in the continental United States.
- They must have at least an unweighted 3.5 grade point average (out of 4.0).
- They must have an interest in journalism.
- The combined income of their custodial parent(s)/guardian( s) plus child support payments, if any, must not exceed $45,000.
Note: This program is for students from low-income backgrounds. If the combined income of the custodial parent(s)/guardian( s) plus child support payments, if any, exceeds $45,000 and a student still wishes to apply, he or she may attach a letter explaining why his or her family qualifies as financially under-resourced.
If you have questions, the best way to contact is via email at sjp@princeton.edu. Please note that applications should be sent to sjpapplication@gmail.com, which is a GMAIL address. Questions should be sent to sjp@princeton.edu, which is a PRINCETON address.

Mission
The goal of the CBCF/Wal-Mart Emerging Leaders Internship Program is to create a corps of trained, young leaders with the skills, outlook and contacts necessary to generate and sustain positive change in Washington, D.C., and their local communities.

On Friday afternoons, interns attend educational seminars that focus on domestic and international issues, participate in leadership-training sessions and visit cultural and historical sites in the Washington, D.C., area. Each cohort must complete a team community service project in the surrounding community. CBCF provides housing and a stipend.
George Washington University’s Semester in Washington Program
CBCF has partnered with George Washington University’s Semester in Washington Program to give CBCF interns an unrivaled experience – both in Washington and the United States. This program offers a combination of hands-on coursework and networking opportunities at some of the most famous addresses in the country. While earning academic credit, CBCF interns work side by side with like-minded peers and professional politicos, and leave the program with the knowledge and skills to become more involved in politics at the local, state and national levels. For more information, videos and testimonials from alumni visit GWU’s website at: http://www.siwpolitics.gwu.edu/.
