| Humboldt State University announces scholarships Humboldt State University, nationally known for its strong natural resource management programs is pleased to announce that thirty students will receive $3623 a year for 4-years. All students interested in studying Computer Science, Mathematics or Environmental Resources Engineering with a GPA of 2.75 or higher and financial need should apply http://www.humboldt.edu/~sls/. Priority will be given to eligible applicants who are American Indian and/or first generation college students. Applicants from the 14 Western University Exchange (WUE) states are encouraged to apply, as WUE students can attend Humboldt State University for nearly the same cost or less as a public university in their home state http://www.humboldt.edu/~wue. The scholarships, with additional federal financial aid, should cover costs for 4-years. Humboldt's rural coastal setting in Northern California is near forests, rivers and mountains and is conducive to studying natural resources problems, as well as other social, economic and environmental issues. Average class sizes are small, with most classes under 24 students. Students work side-by-side with faculty members on research, community projects and field work. The student body of about 7000 students contains members of more than 40 tribes and HSU is within 60 miles of three of California's largest tribes. The combination of programs such as the Indian Natural Resources, Sciences and Engineering Program (INRSEP), the Indian Teacher and Educational Personnel Program, the Center for Indian Community Development and the Native American Studies program is unique, making HSU a university of choice for American Indian students. Scholarship recipients will participate in an enhanced academic program, including leadership training, professional development, and support services. Recipients may enroll in an interdisciplinary service learning seminar that will work with Native communities to solve problems using computer science, environmental resources engineering and mathematics. They will also participate in a Scholars' Interest Group, a freshman cohort program that includes common course taking, advising, and other activities. The deadline to apply is April 15, 2007 For more information about HSU and the Scholarship Program please see: http://www.humboldt.edu/ http://www.humboldt.edu/~sls/ If you would like to nominate a student to receive application materials in the mail, please send an email to sls@... containing the student’s contact information. Have questions? Please call Dr. Beth Eschenbach, Professor of Environmental Resources Engineering at 707-826-4348 or Dr. Jacquelyn Bolman, Director of Indian Natural Resources, Sciences and Engineering Program at 707-826-4994. Partial support for this work was provided by the National Science Foundation Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program under Award No. 0631181 |
