A new scholarship for nontraditional students, from Destiny Solutions.

Destiny Solutions sent me a scholarship link today.

It is for the Mary Cone Barrie Scholarship Award. From the page:

"The Marry Cone Barrie Scholarship is a yearly program that was established to recognize the efforts of learners who are improving their lives through continuing education and workforce development. We understand how difficult it can be to embrace the concept of lifelong learning, to go back to school with a full time job and a family. We are proud that we can contribute even a little bit to help make life a little easier. "

This is a scholarship for nontraditional students. You can apply here.: Destiny Solutions: The Mary Cone Barrie Scholarship Award.

Good luck!

Are you thinking ahead? Fill out your FAFSA and get student loans AND grants.

I looked up FAFSA videos on YouTube and found the official one. It was made in 2012. I learned some things while watching it. For instance, you can fill out the official FAFSA form in both English and Spanish.

The FAFSA form still uses a PIN number, which it used to do. This is your personal ID number you use there.



I like the new "Online Chat" feature that the video tells about. You can now list up to 10 schools that you are interested in.

You can also automatically import your IRS information sometimes now too.

If the FAFSA offers a "save" function along the way, I suggest using it, so that you can retrieve your information in case of a computer glitch.

Here is the website too:
http://www.fafsa.gov.

They list http://www.studentaid.gov for a site to go to if you have questions about the FAFSA form.

Good luck on your scholarship search!

A little about Internships. They are great experience, and can sometimes lead to a job.

First off, Internships don't always lead to jobs.











But they do look great on a resume. And if they like you a lot, and have an opening, they can be a terrific way to get a job. Sometimes.

An internship can be a practice run on a job you think you might like. They are often unpaid, and offered for a limited time.

But you can do great work at one, and make a difference too.

Here are some great pages I found on finding an internship in a field you like or would like to learn more about.

The Fatomei/Dr. Torres List of Internships

Intern with Greenpeace

Finding Internships - at the About.com page

NYC Summer Internships 2013

The Fall 2013 White House Internship program

Smithsonian Internship Opportunities

Student Programs at the Department of State

The City of Seattle Internship Program

Internships Explained: from the Columbia University website

Internships at the UN

Reuters Journalism Internships







And if summer internships at a site are filled, jot these addresses down OR make your own list for next year. The sooner you apply for these, the better.

Knuckle down... and never give up on looking for that great scholarship or grant.

A thought for today:










Don't give up just because there are many applicants for scholarships.

You may think that all scholarships are already taken, and that only the genius applicants will get the nod.

It is not true. 

Things like service, clubs, groups, specialized knowledge, entrepreneurship, background, residency, special skills, and many more things are taken into account when scholarships or grants are awarded.

You need to give a scholarship or grant search the seriousness and organization you give other important things, like looking for a job or doing research.

Just saying.

Here are some postings to help you in your scholarship search:

Finding Scholarships Only YOUR School Offers

Tips on Finding and Securing Scholarships

and

How to Organize your Scholarship Search.

Good luck on your search - - and I hope you find a GREAT scholarship or grant.
