Opportunities to Pay for Higher Education

Check out the newly posted web links under Job/Internship/Artist Opportunities.

Just posted are two great opportunities to further and finance your education. The first one is the Jacob K. Javits Fellowships Program. This program provides fellowships to students of superior academic ability—selected on the basis of demonstrated achievement, financial need, and exceptional promise—to undertake study at the doctoral and Master of Fine Arts level in selected fields of arts, humanities, and social sciences. This is one of the few all-tuition paid MFA fellowships for writers, artists, filmmakers, performing artists, etc.

The second post is the Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship. Ford Diversity Fellowship awards are offered at the Pre-doctoral, Dissertation and Postdoctoral levels. Fellowships are awarded in a national competition. Awards are made to individuals who, in the judgment of the review panels, have demonstrated superior academic achievement, are committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are well prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.
Both of these programs have fall application deadlines so check them out now!
