Scholarships, Money & Opportunities

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

I was reading some of the news on my feed reader today, and two particular things caught my eye!

Are any of you high school seniors who are Massachusetts residents? Want to be an engineer? Then consider applying for the 2008 Future Engineers Scholarship. The application has been posted on the ASHRAE’s Boston Chapter website (ashraeboston.org). They are awarding 14 scholarships in the amount of $2000. The deadline is May 30, 2008. For more information: http://ashraeboston.org/scholarship-info.html

COoL! But, only in MA.

Then, I see this!

There’s an exciting new robot design contest that offers 25 robot enthusiasts the chance to vie for several great prizes including a $5,000 college scholarship for 1st Place, a $2,000 college scholarship for 2nd Place, and $200 gift certificates for the 10 3rd Place winners.

A few months ago I was looking at summer camps and stuff. One of the really awesome ones was at RSI. Course, you have to email them to see if your country is participating. I was 90% sure that Canada would be participating, so I even printed off all the forms… When I got the email back, of course, Canada is NOT participating. Wow much?

Maybe it’s all for a reason that I haven’t discovered yet. I’ll probably spend my summer doing indie learning and brainstorming ideas for all of these contests, which is cool by me Researching by the pool.

11 sleeps til science fair!!

Happy annoying-snow-and-ice-pellet-snow-day to everyone!
