Scholarship Opportunity 
shared by Lisbeth McCarty:

I thought I would pass along the information below for any of you or your children or your children’s children or your friends/nieces/nephews, etc., (you get the idea) for this scholarship:
Who DOESN’T like free money?!?

What college student couldn’t use a little more dough?  COM is once again participating in the Mensa Education and Research Foundation’s scholarship program and we invite applications for scholarships in this year’s program.  The only eligibility requirements are that the applicant will be enrolled in a degree program in an accredited American institution of post-secondary education in the 2016-2017 academic year and that the applicant is a citizen or a permanent resident of the United States.  

Awards will be made on the basis of an essay of fewer than 550 words, which describes the applicant’s career, vocational, or academic goal toward which the scholarship is to provide aid.  Entries will be judged and awarded at three levels: local, regional, and national.  More information and an online application can be found at: http://www.mensafoundation.org/scholarships/. All entries must be submitted online by January 15, 2016.
