SR Education Group Announces
Launch of New $2000 Community College Scholarship
March 23, 2010 -- SR Education Group has released a new needs-based
scholarship aimed at community college students. The scholarship
amounts to $2,000, and will be awarded in full every four months,
benefiting three students each year.
|
Most scholarships target college students rather
than community college students, so this scholarship will allow
the company to help individuals who are rarely sought out as financial
aid recipients.
The SR Education Group Community College Scholarship, which is
now accepting applications, is open to all full-time students enrolled
in an accredited community college through the 2010 school year.
The application process involves completing two thought-provoking
essay questions, and finalists will be selected based on the compelling,
persuasive quality of their writing. Finalists must also submit
a copy of their FAFSA to ensure that they meet the needs-based criterion
of the scholarship.
Lindsay Toraason, the scholarship coordinator, explains the rationale
of the application process. “The scholarship follows a very
open-ended and personal format, so that I can gain a more complete
understanding of the student, and award our scholarship to a person
who would really benefit from the additional funds.”
Community colleges are for many Americans the most feasible way
to continue an education past high school. SR Education Group, an
online provider of higher education information, is serious about
helping students find and fund great educational opportunities,
and this community college scholarship is a further way to help.
“Any student, regardless of his/her major, is eligible to
apply,” says Toraason. “I have tried to make this scholarship
available to as many students as possible because I know that college
tuition can be a barrier for people who want to pursue an education.”
Further details about the scholarship and the application forms
can be found at http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/scholarships/community-college-scholarship.
The deadline for applications is 05/22/2010 at 10 a.m. PT, and the
winner will be announced – and featured on the website –
approximately two weeks after that.

In Response to Obama's
Proposal to Send 100,000 Students to Study in China, Study
International Corp. Announces New Program
Stony Brook, NY (Vocus) March 17, 2010 -- In response to
President Obama's recent promise to send 100,000 American
students to China, Study International Corp. (www.StudyInternationalCorp.com),
announces a new initiative to provide students with an opportunity
to earn a
|
| quality university degree at a fraction of
the cost of a comparable U.S. university. The total cost for
students participating in Study International's program is
$12,750 per year and includes tuition, room and board, support
services and roundtrip airfare for two trips per year. The
Confucius Institute will provide language and culture education,
which is certified by the Chinese Ministry of Education. The
Confucius Institute has more than 80 locations throughout
the U.S. A reception introducing the program will be held
at the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China
in New York City on March 24, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
The venture is spearheaded by Lester Wolff, a former U.S.
Congressman who chaired the Asian Affairs Committee and was
instrumental in normalizing relationships between the U.S.
and China.
Richard Popovic, President of Study International and Dr.
Yuefan Deng, Chief Education Consultant of the company, see
this program as providing not only an opportunity for American
students to get a top-quality education at an affordable cost,
but also as a chance to learn the culture and language of
the world’s fastest growing economy. Students will gain
valuable global perspective for their job prospects or to
further graduate studies back in the U.S. In addition, this
program provides a means to help meet President Obama's commitment
to send 100,000 American students to study in China (www.StudyInternationalCorp.com).
