Scholarship Info Doctoral position ‘Agricultural function of grassland biodiversity in productive farming systems
Grasslands in Central Europe strongly contribute to the biodiversity in rural landscapes. Intensive agriculture has a detrimental effect on biodiversity. However, recent research has shown that diversity also has the potential to support grassland production systems by stabilizing or even increasing yields. So far, these findings have hardly been applied or verified in current productive farming systems. In a multidisciplinary approach, agronomic, economic, philosophical and social dimensions of ecological results will be discussed (for details www.biodiversitaet-gesellschaft.uni-goettingen.de).

Scholarships By Grade Level
When most people think of college scholarships, they think of awards given to college freshmen based on applications submitted during their senior years of high school. While many scholarships do fit this description, this is by no means the case for all awards. In fact, there is free money awarded to students at every grade level.
A few scholarships will have open eligibility, allowing anyone who meets basic requirements to apply, whether they are high school (or even middle school) students, college students, or graduate or professional students. Many such awards may be sweepstakes contests, or awards based on specific activities, such as community service. Others may divide awards by grade level or age group and give out multiple scholarship prizes. These allow for a broad appeal but still ensure that students with more educational experience and therefore stronger academic skills don’t have an unfair advantage when it comes to winning scholarships.
Many providers limit scholarships by grade level
More commonly, though, scholarships are targeted to specific age groups or grade levels. These might range in specificity from a scholarship for high school juniors born in a particular calendar year to a scholarship for anyone who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate or professional program. While scholarship competitions that limit eligibility to students in a particular grade in high school or year in college are fairly common, more general eligibility categories are probably what you’re likely to see the most.
By limiting their eligibility requirements to one group of students, scholarship providers are ensuring that students who take the time to enter their contest are competing with students of similar levels of educational attainment. This can help ensure a high quality pool of applicants, and also assist scholarship providers in judging the submitted applications more fairly. For example, mistakes that are common and easily forgiven in an essay by a high school junior are not so common or easily forgiven in an essay by a doctoral student.
Scholarships for High School Students
Scholarships for high school students are probably the most common category of scholarships by grade level. High school students are planning on starting college for the first time and likely don’t have other sources of funding lined up. Scholarships for high school students, therefore, are creating an investment in a student right at the beginning of his or her academic career and are providing funding that is likely desperately sought.
Scholarships for Undergraduate Students
Not everyone has four years of funding locked in when they arrive on campus the first day, and many students may find themselves continuing their scholarship search throughout all four years of college. Unexpected expenses arise, grades fluctuate, and plans change as students spend time in school, so a student who may not have been a prime candidate for a scholarship as a high school student may become one as a college sophomore or junior. Many scholarship providers recognize these changes and have created scholarships for undergraduate students who are successfully continuing their studies beyond the first year of college.
Scholarships for Graduate Students
While less common than the other varieties, scholarships for graduate students are available. Graduate students typically rely heavily on fellowships or assistantships, but these aren’t available to everyone and don’t always cover a graduate student’s living expenses. Therefore, a number of scholarship providers are willing to help graduate students finish the last leg of their educational journeys by providing a bit of extra funding.
Other Resources
To help get you started exploring the scholarship opportunities available to students at your particular juncture in life, check out our free resources on scholarships by grade level listed above. These resources come in addition to other sections of our site that break down scholarships by location, by major, or by type. To get the most customized list of scholarship awards, though, you will want to fill out a profile on Scholarships.com and conduct a free college scholarship search. This will match you with scholarship opportunities relevant to you, whatever your grade level may be.

Julie Gilbert
Julie Gilbert, former senior vice-president of Best Buy
You can read more about Julie Gilbert who was featured in Issue 1 of The Royal Neighbor magazine.
Julie Gilbert heads a thriving business called WOLF Means Business that combines business strategy with a strong belief in people and a passion for the possible. Her innovative ideas help grow businesses and inspire individuals to contribute more to their jobs, communities, others, and themselves.
Julie’s leadership style
I get energy by bringing as many people as possible into the vision I’ve created and making the vision big enough that it’s all-inclusive for people to create growth in business and within themselves.
As an example: At one point in my career, I had to create one of five project teams. I didn’t have an assistant to help, and I didn’t have an executive title to use to encourage participation.
So I positioned myself at the company coffee shop and engaged people for two days. I asked about their passions and what they liked to do. If they were a fit for the team, I invited them to join. As a result, I had people who were unbelievably passionate because they got to do what they loved to do every single day as a member of my team.
Their quality of work was off the charts and we were one of the most successful teams.
Julie’s success
I’ve been successful because, being raised by two entrepreneurial parents, I was taught very early that finance is the language of business. I learned how to build a business, what a profit and loss statement is and what a balance sheet looks like. I know that business is about building and nurturing relationships, a good work ethic, and understanding finance.
I started out as a CPA. That gave me a good foundation about finance that has been a powerful asset because it gave me the confidence to talk about financial issues that put me on par with my male colleagues.
WOLF Means Business
We are a consulting firm that helps transform businesses to better serve women. We work with companies and map out the strategy of the potential gain they could achieve by focusing on the female consumer. In almost every case, companies can potentially achieve billions of dollars in revenue.
Female employees at all levels work with female consumers to reinvent companies from the outside in and inside out. These women come up with some phenomenal ideas for new products and services.
Giving back plays a large role in our business, too. We try to inspire people to feel better about themselves and know they are valued and they matter. This empowers them to change their lives.
We are passionate about changing the world with women because women not only change the world for themselves, but for their children, husbands, and communities.
We also use our resources to build awareness of breast cancer and domestic violence, which affect women so critically.
How women can make their mark in the world
Have confidence in yourselves and take others with you. Realize that you have so much to give, support each other, and give back. We’re all in this together. We have an obligation to do better, stand up and lead, and step up to the podium and make it happen.

Austin, left, and Tyler Burdick, homeschooled and headed to the University of Virginia.
Sitting in the boys’ living room with their mother and hearing about the scholarships and honors Austin and Tyler Burdick will be taking with them to the University of Virginia in the fall, a less intrepid reporter might wonder just where these Flint Hill kids went to high school.
The answer to such a dumb question, of course, would be: right here.
“This room probably more than others,” says Tyler, who, though identical to his 18-year-old brother, is wearing a slightly different jersey bearing the insignia of the University — where both boys also have earned scholarships to play polo. “But really the whole house has been our classroom — and the whole farm.”
Yes, intrepid one, the Burdicks were in fact home-schooled since the beginning of their school days by parents Todd and Jane Burdick on the Crest Hill Road farm where the family raises sheep and horses, and where Todd Burdick bases his equine veterinary practice.
Theirs is a success story — between them, the two won nearly a dozen scholarships — not always told by those who choose the harder road that homeschooling presents.
“I’m sure there were certain aspects of things we may have missed [not attending a school],” Tyler says, smiling as he politely answers another intrepid question. “But I feel I’ve learned a lot more here than I could have otherwise.”
Austin puts his finger on it. “We were able to accomplish much more here because we had the freedom to study what we wanted — and that does take discipline.”
Mother Jane is smiling and nodding.
The Burdicks graduate summa cum laude this month from a novel Catholic-Igniatian-Classical/Great Books program administered by Kolbe Academy in Napa, Calif. — but carried out by their parents, with help from local artists and additional coursework at Lord Fairfax Community College’s Middletown campus.
Virginia was the boys’ first choice, but they were also accepted at Cornell and Texas A&M. Austin will probably major in chemistry, Tyler in biology, but they both have interests in a business curriculum. Both are minoring in art.
Among other awards, the two each won $1,000 National Society of High School Scholars National Scholar Awards, selected from among 12,000 applicants for excellence in academics, leadership and community service. Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel prizes and founder of. the Scholar Awards, said: “I am deeply honored to recognize Austin and Tyler as two of our most outstanding students.”
Tyler’s awards include a $1,000 Most Valuable Student contest award from the Virginia Elks Association; a $1,000 Mary NcNeil Willis Scholarship from the Culpeper Regional Hospital Auxiliary; $2,000 as a national regional finalist in the Young Epidemiology Scholars Competition, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the College Board.
Austin garnered a $1,000 Best Buy @15 Scholarship for academic achievement and community service; a Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District scholarship; a Windmore Foundation for the Arts $1,000 Dorothy Skelton Art Scholarship to continue his education in the visual arts; a $1,000 Lee-Jackson Scholarship from the Lee-Jackson Educational Foundation for his essay, “Reverence and Resolve: The Forces Guiding Thomas Jackson,” and the Jeff MacNelly Art Award commemorating the former Rappahannock resident and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, from the Headwaters Foundation.
Ask the boys if they’d consider pursuing the same path in the future for their own kids, and Tyler says, intrepidly:
“Our parents have been super-supportive of us, but it’s been a huge commitment for them. I’m . . . not sure I could do what they’ve done.”
Jane Burdick says the boys’ dad directed the boys’ schooling through seventh-grade, while she worked full time at Fauquier Hospital; after that, she took over.
“We are so grateful to these organizations for the opportunities they’re giving the boys to fund their education,” she says. “And for families that may be contemplating homeschooling, especially high school homeschooling, this shows that — it can be done! Your kids can be selected to attend their school of choice, they can qualify for scholarships — athletic as well as academic. You can do it!”

General Information
The Office of Admissions along with the Office of Financial Aid administer the majority of Scholarships at the University of New Mexico. Scholarships are traditionally known as merit based, and a competitive process usually accompanies the activities surrounding selection and monitoring of the various programs. Major responsibilities and duties within the scholarship structure deal with the formation of student programs and the administration of these programs.
Specifically, there are four major scholarship functions for which these offices are responsible:
* Institutional Scholarships include, but are not limited to: the Regents', National, Presidential, UNM Scholars, Omega, PACE and Transfer Scholarships. These programs are funded by several sources, including outside private donations;
* State Funded Scholarships include, but are not limited to: NM Legislative Lottery Scholarship, Amigo and NM Scholars. These programs are funded by the state of New Mexico;
* Departmental Scholarships are selected at the department levels, but the actual student awarding and administration is handled within this office;
* Private and Outside Scholarships include hundreds of programs which flow through our process. These programs are also selected by outside mechanisms, but are ultimately included in our scholarship process.
Overall, these offices oversee the administration of over 50 million dollars in scholarships awarded each year at the University of New Mexico.

PhD position in marine environmental sensor development, Technical University Berlin
Within the framework of the European Community Initial Training Network SENSEnet (www.eu-sensenet.net), we are seeking candidates for a PhD position with a background in experimental physics (diploma or master) or with knowledge in analytical chemistry, marine chemistry or sensor development in environmental science and technology.
The project aims to develop and test in-situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) instrumentation. One task focuses on the development and characterization of SERS active substrates and the other task is to build an underwater-system with improved laser and detection technology for long-term deployment. The system will be tested and deployed in cooperation with SENSEnet partners.
Program Description
Based on the extensive experience of the laser spectroscopy group in marine research, the candidate will be enabled to apply recently developed microsystem laser sources for new in-situ Raman techniques in different spectral regions. This will allow the detection of e.g. organic pollutants in seawater with previously unmatched precision and sensitivity to be tested and verified. Moreover, novel detection approaches like using long optical fibers (length of several kilometers) for deep-sea investigations e.g. on the seafloor were recently applied at TU Berlin in preliminary tests and show great potential for further research.

How to Encourage Girls' Scholarization
International PhD Project in Physics of future quantum-based information technologies, Poland
The main aim is to conduct the state-of-the-art research by 12 young scientists during the preparation of their PhD theses. At the same time the programme aims at intensifying international cooperation of the Polish research units. Within the scope of the programme the Foundation covers the stipends for PhD students and research grants including the costs resulting from international cooperation.
Stipends
The project is planned for 12 PhD students.
The succesful candidate will receive personal stipends amounting to 3000 PLN a month.
During the visit at partner laboratories abroad the stipend will be increased up to 4500 PLN.
Those Phd students who need additional social security will receive additional 500 PLN
to cover the latter costs.
Successful candidates will undersign separate agreements with Foundation for Polish Science which will supply the stipends directly to PhD students.
Research grant
The project includes a research grant not exceeding 35 000 PLN yearly/per person (each PhD student). These funds are used for international cooperation (costs of travel), research apparata, computers, office materials, and others.
Location
The project is run in University of Gdańsk by two Institutes:
Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics)
Institute of Experimental Physics
The adress of both institutes is: ul. Wita Stwosza 57, 80-952 Gdańsk, POLAND
The candidates - what is expected ?
The project is addressed, first of all, to graduates of physics and technical physics. On the other hand, the candidates who studied mathematics, biophysics, computer science, astrophysics, astronomy may also be candidates. We welcome open-minded people.
The project is devoted to very modern applications of the quantum mechanics. Therefore, it is expected that the candidates would have good understanding of quantum mechanics. There are, however theoreticaal and experimental subproject, so there is no needed to be scared.
We believe that well-motivated candidates can learn fast and get the necessary knowledge quite quickly. If necessary we shall try to be not only scientific supervisors but also mentors and techers. Seminars and other activities would allow the candidates to refresh the necessary grasp of physics and quantum mechanics.
The project is “international”. Thus, good command of English is required. It is necessary to communicate with foreign collaborators, to study the literature (in fact, there are essentially no source in the language other than English).
Finally, the LaTeX (or equivalent) typesetting method seems to be a standard. It is expected that the candidates would possess the knowledge of this method of preparing the publication of their results.
The first recruitment is planned to occur in the end of June 2010. It is estimated that 6 candidates will be accepted. The second recruitment is planned at the end of the first reporting period, that is, at most, in mid-September 2010. The full recruitment should be ended At the end of September. The candidates will receive the first stipend in October 2010 (the last month of the first reporting period).
