Up to $12,000 in scholarships are available from the Golden LEAF Foundation to attend four-year colleges and universities in North Carolina,,,,,,,,,,,
The Golden LEAF Foundation has recently revised its scholarship program to offer up to $12,000 for students from qualifying counties to attend participating four-year colleges and universities.
“The Foundation is committed to growing the economies of tobacco-dependent, economically distressed and rural communities,” said Dan Gerlach, Golden LEAF president. “Helping cultivate the talent, knowledge and skill of our future workforce is part of the recipe of success for rebuilding these areas.”
Under the new program, a rising college freshman from a qualifying county can apply for a $12,000 Golden LEAF Scholarship to attend one of the participating four-year colleges and universities. Golden LEAF’s four-year scholars will be eligible for $3,000 a year for up to four years. Scholarships are primarily need-based.
Students from qualifying counties that transfer from a community college to one of the participating four-year institutions are also eligible for $3,000 a year for up to three years, depending on the number of credits the student transfers.
Applications will be available December 16 at CFNC.org/goldenleaf. You can visit the Golden LEAF Website’s scholarship page at www.goldenleaf.org/scholarships.html for more information on scholarship opportunities.
“The Golden LEAF Board of Directors decided to revise the Golden LEAF Scholarship program from a year-to-year commitment to providing four years of assistance to make a tangible difference in the choice for young people to further their education," said Edgar Roach Jr., chairman of the Golden LEAF Board of Directors. “The Board is ever aware of the needs of our communities, and is making an investment now in youth to develop the workforce and leadership of the future.”
Since its inception, Golden LEAF has also provided scholarships for students from qualifying counties to attend any of North Carolina’s community colleges. Curriculum students can apply for assistance for up to $750 per semester, and non-curriculum students can apply to receive up to $250 a semester.
Community college students must apply for the scholarship each semester. Awards can be applied toward tuition, fees and related expenses. Scholarships are need- and merit-based.
Contact your local community college’s financial aid office for more information on how to apply for a Golden LEAF Scholarship to attend North Carolina’s community colleges.

NCAA proposes end to early scholarship offers
An NCAA committee announced Thursday that it will back a proposal to prohibit making scholarships offers to recruits before July 1 in the summer between their junior and senior years in high school. If passed, it would apply to all sports.
Coaches also would have to receive high school transcripts documenting at least five semesters or seven quarters worth of academic work for a young recruit before they can offer a scholarship.
It is the first recommendation to come out of the Recruiting and Athletics Personnel Issues Cabinet, which is reviewing recruiting conduct. Committee chair Petrina Long acknowledged it would be a difficult rule for school compliance officers to monitor.
But Long, senior associate athletic director at UCLA, said the committee was compelled to propose a change after recruits and their families said they had felt pressured to make decisions before knowing enough about the school's academic programs. Coaches also told the cabinet they were under increased pressure to "keep up" by making offers to younger and younger players or lose out on top recruits.
The issue has drawn headlines when some men's basketball coaches started making offers to middle school players.
The recruiting cabinet also wants to give coaches more flexibility in calling recruits, their parents or legal guardians. If approved, coaches could contact recruits and their families once a month from June 15 of their sophomore year through July 31 of their junior year in high school.
Starting on Aug. 1 of the senior year, coaches could call a recruit twice a week. Coaches would also be allowed to make one call per week to junior college transfers or transfers from other four-year schools.
The rule is already being used in men's basketball and would be expanded to include all sports except football.
The Legislative Council will not vote on any of the proposals before January and it could delay a vote until April 2011.

Free Doctoral Programme in Germany..join now..
Free Doctoral Programme in Germany..join now..
Realize your dreams!! Pursue tuition-free Doctoral programme (PhD) in Germany!!
What else do you want to know! All Doctoral Programmes in Germany are tuition-free!! Owing to this there are many takers for Doctoral Research in Germany from other countries.
If you are aiming to pursue PhD in Germany, there are two ways you can apply for:
Independent Research under supervision
Structured PhD Programme
Before applying for a PhD Programme you should know that Germany does not have a system of graduate schools, centers and colleges. In fact there is no binding curriculum that guides a student throughout the programme. Therefore it is clear that a student can choose from a variety of programmes, precisely the programme that inspires him/her the most for a Doctoral Research. However any Doctoral Research is incomplete without submission of thesis or dissertation substantiating the research work you have undertaken. And as a matter of fact this thesis or piece of dissertation ought to be validated by an authority in the subject. So prior to carrying out an Independent Research, the students are supposed to get their Research Proposal authenticated by a Supervising Professor. The Supervising Professor keeps evaluating and directing the research periodically.
We can now see in a nutshell how an Independent Research Programme is carried out:
Finding a Supervising Professor: Since there is no such defined academic body in Germany, that takes the responsibility of conducting a bound Research Programme, the student has to solely rely upon the University he/she chooses and the Supervising Professor belonging to that particular University.

The Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University has a position available for a PhD Student
PhD Student Biosensors (2×2 years)
The Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University has a position available for a PhD Student for the project “Development and Characterisation of Fluorescent Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Nanotechnology and Applications in Advanced Electronic Devices, Chemo- and Bio-sensors”. This project runs in close collaboration with the Institute for Materials Research '.
Job description
The PhD student will conduct research in the field of fluorescence of polymers which will be used as building blocks for biosensors. The project focuses on the changes in fluorescence induced by the target molecule upon binding with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) embedded in a matrix of conjugated polymers. The project comprises the study of the underlying mechanism of the observed changes and the design of a specific sensor. Advanced (micro)fluorimetric techniques will be applied. This project is within the framework of a collaboration between the Institute of Material Science and the Biomedical research institute of Hasselt University.
Diploma and profile
Master degree (or equivalent) in either physics, chemistry, biomedical sciences, bio-engineer, engineer in physics, engineer in chemistry or civil engineer. Students in their final year can also apply. The candidate must master either the Dutch or the English language.
