Eden Theological Seminary has created the Dr. Enoch Hammond Oglesby Endowed Scholarship to honor the contributions of the scholarship's namesake.
Oglesby has been a prominent theologian for decades. Having earned his doctorate from Boston University, Oglesby began his teaching at Eden in 1978, where he served on its faculty for almost 30 years.
Oglesby, a member of the African-American clergy community, has been instrumental in providing guidance to many theologians and pastors serving the African-American communities around the world. Oglesby has published more than 10 books and has been a keynote speaker at various conferences and events.
"I'm just so delighted that after a great deal of hard work and persistence, the first endowed scholarship in Eden's over 160-year history, created specifically to support our African American students, has been initiated," said the Rev. Dr. David Greenhaw, Eden's president. "Dr. Oglesby has meant so much to the Eden community — and the entire African-American community — that it's only fitting this scholarship be in his name."
Oglesby grew up in Earle, Ark., on a cotton farm. He followed his belief that education should be accessible to all and he worked to follow his call to higher education, which ultimately led him to Boston University.
Eden Theological Seminary, a seminary of the United Church of Christ, educates women and men for ministry, and is located at 475 E. Lockwood Ave. in Webster Groves.

Nebraska has become well known for its promotion of higher education by providing a number of scholarships and financial aid to Nebraska residents.
Nebraska has become well known for its promotion of higher education by providing a number of scholarships and financial aid to Nebraska residents who intend to stay and attend a college or a university within the state. These scholarships are offered by the state and independent institutions to students attending a university, college, or technical/vocational school.
Scholarships are provided to students from different backgrounds on the basis of merit, needs, or educational pursuits. The only criteria for being selected for these scholarships is that the applicant should be a resident of Nebraska and should be willing to go to one of the colleges, universities, or technical/vocational centers in Nebraska.
Some of the best scholarships are:
Nebraska Broadcasters Association Foundation: This is one of the best scholarships for students in Nebraska, which is granted to students who wish to pursue their post-secondary education in broadcasting-related programs at public or private institutions or colleges. This Nebraska scholarship offers two $1,500 grants to two students every year who meet the selection criteria. The criteria is that the students must be specializing in communications, broadcasting, or a related field at a public or a private college in Nebraska, and must have attended High School in Nebraska. The Applicants must also have planned a career in radio or media.
Scott Mecham BBB Student of Integrity Award: The Foundation of the Better Business Bureau sponsored Nebraska scholarship is awarded in Nebraska, southwest Iowa, and South Dakota. This Scholarship is offered to three students who live in the areas that are served by the Foundation of the Better Business Bureau. The scholarship was established in the memory of Mr. Mecham, who was the president of Mecham since 1991, and is offered to students who want to pursue their higher secondary education in the particular regions.
AQHF Nursing Scholarship: This is one of the Nebraska Nursing Scholarships that is offered to Nebraska students who would like to pursue higher secondary education in the field of nursing. The AQHF Nursing Scholarship offers $2,500 per year for a minimum of four years. For this Nebraska scholarship, the minimum GPA that a student is expected to maintain is a 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. In addition, the student must also be a full-time student of nursing to receive this award.
Nebraska Quarter Horse Youth Scholarship: This is one of the best Nebraska Resident Freshman Scholarships awarded to Nebraska students. It offers $2,000 to AQHYA members who receive $500 per year for a degree plan that may expand up to four years.
Nebraska Library Association Louise A. Nixon Scholarship: One of the best scholarships for residents of Nebraska, it is awarded to graduate students pursuing library education in the state of Nebraska.
Most of these Nebraska scholarships are merit–based ones. But they also consider other factors such as need and other non-academic qualifications.

Researchers looking at true world
Researchers looking at true world.....
The new Institute for Business Research being launched in Tauranga
The new Institute for Business Research at the University of Waikato is being launched in Tauranga on Friday December 3.
A lot of good business research information is not finding its way to the business community that can best make use of it, says institute director Stuart Locke.
The Waikato University Institute for Business Research is being created partly to encourage the Waikato and Bay of Plenty business communities to ask questions that dig into that intellectual property, says institute director Stuart Locke.
The average academic spends 40 percent of the time on research, 40 per cent teaching and 20 per cent on administration.
With the top management school in the country, Waikato University has some really good research sitting around not being used by the business community, says Stuart.
The IBR is also envisaged as an employment agency for PhD students looking for suitable research projects.
The intention is to attract the interest of businesses that have significant issues, and team them up with up to date research information. If existing research doesn’t apply, then new research can be undertaken.
“I think we are the first cab off the rank in terms of this sort of thing in New Zealand,” says Stuart, who works with the IBR’s Agribusiness Research Group.
The new Institute for Business Research is being launched at the University of Waikato on Thursday December 2 in Hamilton, and on Friday December 3 in Tauranga.
Keynote speaker at the openings is Professor David Hensher, the Founding Director of the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) and Professor of Management at the University of Sydney.
An authority on urban transport issue, David is the recipient of the 2009 IATBR Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition for his long-standing and exceptional contribution to the wider travel behaviour community. He’s a member of the Singapore Land Transport Authority International Advisory Panel, and is the author of 12 books.
David is a frequent commentator in Australian media, on the broader issues of private participation in infrastructure, especially toll roads, congestion charging and the role in urban areas of rail vs bus transport.
New scholarship opportunities..announces
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.

America's Oldest Electrology Schools Extends its Scholarship Programs into 2011
Davis enlisted the web development services of Fencl Web Design to create a place for secure online scholarship applications for the schools industry-leading site. Scholarship applications continue to come through the school website www.aielectrology.com to the present day. "What is more amazing to me is the number of university graduates that apply," says Davis. "Upon receiving their degrees, many have no job opportunities but they carry tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. This must be very stressful for them."
Though the AIE scholarship program is a partial scholarship, demand has been intense. These scholarships have had a very positive impact on the finances of many of the schools students. If it were not for the scholarship funding, many students would not have been able to move into this profession.
When asked about the criterion for granting scholarships, Davis replied, "There are four main questions that we look to answer with every application in addition to qualities like, ability to communicate and a coherent thought process.
First: Is this person mature? This can mean in years of life experience, and / or in an applicants outlook on life.
Second: Adults with previous work experience dealing with the public or those who are, or who have been self-employed business owners, get high marks in our evaluation process. Why? Electrologists are self-employed professionals. A history of success in past or present self-directed employment serves new electrologists well in establishing a client base.
Third: We give preference to people with existing credentials, such as aestheticians, cosmetologists, nurses, or anyone with a license in a medically related field like X ray technician, phlebotomist, dental assistant, dental hygienist, etc. Existing credentials show an ability to learn and an application for electrology training expresses their commitment to a life of learning.
Fourth: A clearly expressed business plan is important. Either written or verbally explained, a plan for a start-up stand-alone business or an opportunity to start practicing within an established salon, spa, or a medical office, gives us a sense of their likelihood of success in this profession."
Another way that Davis helps people enter the electrology profession is by sponsoring a scholarship for the American Electrology Association (A E A). At the beginning of 2010, Davis offered a full scholarship to his school to the AEA on the condition that it is named the "AEA scholarship" and that it is offered through the auspices of the association. The AEA's Directors immediately established their "scholarship review committee" and in July of 2010 awarded the first full scholarship to a winning applicant. At the recent annual October AEA convention in Washington D. C., Davis announced the continuation and expansion of his sponsorship into 2011 and beyond. Two partial scholarships have been added to the existing full scholarship. All attending the convention received this news enthusiastically.
"Electrology is a very rewarding profession, both financially and personally. Every electrologist has experienced the joy of assisting clients with unwanted hair problems and has seen the remarkable changes that can occur in their lives." Davis sums up his scholarship efforts this way. "Helping people enter this wonderful profession is a gift in itself. I've seen so many or our past students become electrologists and have their lives positively transformed. By also working through a terrific association like the AEA, I get to help them perpetuate their excellent work in continuing education and advocacy for the electrology profession."
The American Institute of Education enrolls students from across the U S A, Canada and abroad. This scholarship program is specifically for North American residents. Applications from international students are not considered.

The Indian School of Business (ISB) recently hosted 'India Fast Growth 25' in partnership with the AllWorld Network and The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), Hyderabad. 'India Fast Growth 25', is an annual rating of emerging private companies in India and offers a snapshot of how India is creating new economic values and the constraints faced by entrepreneurs.

The discussion was moderated by Sudhir Syal, Editorial Head, Starting Up, ET Now. The panel discussed start up ventures, importance of retaining talent, funding for fast growth, raising capital and market expansion.
This was followed by a keynote address by Srini Raju, Founder and Chairman, Peepul Capital. Discussing the importance of raising capital, Raju said that it is very important for entrepreneurs to project a realistic picture of the company as they approached and signed deals with investors, particularly private equity players.
Professor Anne Habiby, Co-founder and Director, AllWorld, introduced the organisation and spoke about how India Fast Growth 25 was started. She said that the 25 companies created about 7,000 jobs since their establishment and these firms are expected to grow by 50 percent or more in the next six months.
Discussing entrepreneurship at the ISB, Tanuku said, "At the ISB we encourage students to seek entrepreneurship as their career choice. The ISB is trying to facilitate a more indepth understanding of the students to understand the power of entrepreneurship, what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and eventually becoming a successful enterprise."

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.

Australian Leadership Award Scholarship receive 14 Filipinos
Australian Leadership Award Scholarship receive 14 Filipinos .,
14 outstanding Filipinos have been identified for their potential to assume leadership roles which can influence social and economic policy reform and development outcomes in the Philippines and the region," Smith said.
"The awards demonstrate Australia's commitment to supporting development in the Philippines, and to promoting greater mutual understanding and cooperation in matters of shared critical concern. Scholarships have been an integral part of Australia's aid program to the Philippines for 50 years.
"Australia's scholarship program reflects the fundamental principle underpinning our development partnership with the Philippines - education has the power to transform lives. Education is the engine room of ideas. It revolutionizes opportunity, builds the fabric of societies, and promotes development and fosters the growth of durable institutions.
"These 14 ALA scholarship recipients will undertake postgraduate studies at Australian universities in fields including public policy, community development and planning, peace and conflict studies, marine studies, forensic science, and business administration. They will also participate in a Leadership Development Program which will strengthen their leadership skills, establish regional networks and enhance their understanding of regional development challenges. I wish them well in their endeavors."
Ambassador Smith said Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently launched a new initiative, the Australia Awards, which would bring together all Australian scholarship programs, including the ALA, to ensure these programs were consolidated, better branded, and delivered to support the long-term interests of Australia and its partners. Over time, the Australia Awards would build a new generation of leadership across Asia with strong links to Australia.
The ALA Scholarship recipients are: Paul Adolfo (Master of Public Policy, Australian National University), Ma. Gena Buenconsejo (Master of Community Planning and Development, La Trobe University), Maria Frencie Carreon (PhD in Arts, Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Sydney), Juan Dayang Jr. (PhD Diplomatic Studies, Australian National University), Francis Ron De Guzman (Master of Climate Change, Australian National University), Wilham Hailaya (PhD Education - University of Adelaide), Jayson Ibanez (PhD, Charles Darwin University), Jaime Manalo IV (Master of Communication, University of Queensland), Lorelei Peralta (Master of Marine Studies, University of Wollongong), Benjamin Pineda (Master of Governance and Public Policy, University of Queensland), Tomas Pedro Reginaldo (Master of Rehabilitation Counselling, University of Sydney), Lorna Santos (Master of Forensic Science, Bond University), Mary Rose Soria (Master of Applied Science in Geology, James Cook University), and Susan Valerio (PhD Business Administration, Charles Darwin University).

Online Degrees:If you have been contemplating on taking one of the online degrees no matter if it is a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, an MBA
If you have been contemplating on taking one of the online degrees no matter if it is a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, an MBA, a PHD or just a certificate course in a certain field of your interest, you can get money to fund it. Almost all online colleges provide you with financial help. There are many an online college that can provide you with an online degree in just about every field whether it is engineering, computer science, biology, teaching, law, accounting, interior design, nursing, education, business, marketing and whatever else you can think of.
A lot of people try to make use of government money to get online degrees whether they are affiliated to a regular college or university or whether it is an online college that they are attending. Degrees online are becoming extremely popular nowadays as more and more people are finding out that they can attend online colleges in order to get an online degree at their own pace without any pressure especially when they are working at the same time. They can complete the online course in as much time as is convenient to them depending on the time that they can spare.
Government financial aid is pretty easy to obtain. Aid can come in the form of grants as well as loans which could be education loans as well. If you apply for a government loan you might be lucky to get a grant or you might get a loan. The best way to find out whether you can get financial help for you online degree is to get in touch with the online college and find out whether they are accredited and if so whether they have tie-ups with financial help programs via the government or otherwise. A lot of people who have completed their online degrees have done so by using financial aid only. A lot of online colleges also have their own plans for payment without getting financial aid from the government. Only make sure they are accredited to the Department of Education in that region.
You can also get scholarship from charitable institutions. Online courses and programs are very much accepted by employers today and some of them will even pay their employees to get some of these online degrees. If you are already having a job, speak to your boss and see if he will bear part or all of the cost of your tuition, classes or courses. If the courses online that you will be taking are related to your job, then chances are he will sponsor your online degree.
If in any case you need money to take the courses online and get yourself an online degree, you can make an attempt and get yourself a scholarship or grant or at least a loan. Often it means going the extra mile but then it is well worth it. So don’t say that you don’t have enough money for the online degrees and stay put; make an attempt to find a financial aid.
Start by checking all the online degrees: http://www.courses.com available here! You are sure to find at least one online degree: http://www.courses.com to suit your requirement.

Top students awarded PhD scholarships to Cambridge
Three New Zealand university students have been awarded scholarships from the Rutherford Foundation to undertake their PhDs at the University of Cambridge in England.
Two of the scholarships are funded jointly by the Rutherford Foundation and the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, with the third also supported by the Cavendish Laboratory. This laboratory is where Lord Ernest Rutherford conducted his ground-breaking physics research
The successful scholarship recipients are Julian Peat and Naomi White, both from the University of Otago, and Yvette Perrott from the University of Auckland.
The scholarships cover all course and college fees at the University of Cambridge, annual return airfares to New Zealand and a yearly allowance.
The Rutherford Foundation, which awards the scholarships, is a trust set up by the Royal Society of New Zealand to provide support to emerging New Zealand scientists.
The Foundation’s chairperson Margaret Brimble says it aspires to retain New Zealand’s outstanding young scientists in New Zealand.
“It is hoped that these bright young scientists will eventually return to New Zealand to continue their quest for knowledge, thus contributing to New Zealand’s economic growth.”
Whilst at Cambridge University Julian Peat will be studying ribonucleic acid (RNA) which is the building block of genetic material. He is particularly interested in working out how RNA acts and interacts with cell components, with a view to using this information to drive therapeutic advances.
Naomi White aims to study the improvement of social and communication skills in children with autism using musical intervention programmes. She has a background in psychology and psychopathology with strong musical interests.
Yvette Perrott has an interest in astronomy and astrophysics and will be hosted by the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge. She has experience in gravitational microlensing, a technique used to discover planets around distant stars, their sizes and relative distances. In addition to astrophysics, she is interested in relativity and quantum physics and has a strong track record in languages.
ENDS

Background information
The Royal Society of New Zealand established the Rutherford Foundation to provide funding for PhD education, postdoctoral research and early career development in science.
The Foundation is named after Ernest Rutherford who, in 1894, was awarded an 1851 Exhibition Scholarship that allowed him to travel overseas to carry out research in physics. He chose to attend the University of Cambridge which had just begun to accept research students from overseas.
The Rutherford Foundation provides support to those demonstrating a passion for science and technology and the potential to excel in a research environment. It offers two PhD scholarships funded jointly with the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and a third supported by the Cavendish Laboratory (in physics).
Permission to name the Foundation after Lord Rutherford was generously given by his great granddaughter Mary Fowler, Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of London.

Following receipt of such applications, each is carefully reviewed by researchers from universities and from Microsoft Research and the best proposals are selected. For reference, you may consult the evaluation form sent to reviewers.
After a ranking based on the ‘marks’ of the reviewers (when the number of reviews permit it), a short list of applications is drawn and are then ranked manually per research area by Microsoft Researchers using all the information provided to us by the expert reviewers as well as additional information such as the relevance of the research to our particular interests, the interest of one of our researchers to get involved in the project, and so on. The rankings from each research areas are then combined, trying to keep a good balance between each area.
Decisions are made solely at the discretion of Microsoft Research and all decisions are final.
Supervisors have up to one year (from the date of notification) to propose the best and most suitable student possible to carry out the proposed research project.
The student, who can be of any nationality, should not have started his or her PhD before September 2009.
After a student is identified, we request a CV and two strong letters of recommendation (in English and preferably not from the supervisor) from professors familiar with the student’s work and we may decide to interview the student by telephone.
The terms of the agreement between the institution of the successful applicant and Microsoft Research have been developed over the course of the last few years with input from numerous research organisations around Europe to ensure that they are appropriate and equitable.See: Terms and conditions of the sponsorship ........

Prepare for a scholarship interview?but how?.........
Recommendation #4: Follow the guidelines of the interview and make sure to give the interviewer time to ask his or her questions. Interview committees usually explain the schedule or plan for the interview at the start of the process. Give the committee members time to describe the schedule even if you think you know what it is. Usually the process is that interviewees are asked a few standard questions followed by more thought-provoking ones and then are provided with an opportunity to ask a question at the end. In short, you will have a chance to talk. Nonetheless, since there are time limits on interviews, it means that you should not memorize a speech. In fact it is best to avoid memorized speeches and presenting them without pause. Skilled interviewers will recognize these quickly and many will not be impressed. Stick to sharing general thoughts and utilizing discourse skills that you have practiced in your preparation sessions.
Recommendation #5: Answer the questions with full, thoughtful answers. Donors who fund scholarship programs want diversity. They want people who represent many different opinions and backgrounds, and who can explain how they fit those concepts of diversity. Answering either “yes or no” or with brief, one-sentence response doesn’t give the interview panel or committee much information to work with. It doesn’t help you draw an interesting personal profile of yourself or achieve a successful interview.
Recommendation #6: Finally, be yourself and don’t worry about the results. Try to see the interview as a learning experience and an opportunity to meet new people. Being able to think about varying questions posed by different people will help you in your future. Think positively about your experience. If you don’t succeed this time, there may be other opportunities in the future. Try and prepare again. Farouk Al Salihi, a U.S. Department of State PLUS scholarship grantee and now a master’s degree candidate at the London School of Economics writes, “Be confident, do not lie, relax, and go to the interview keeping in mind that if you ‘blow’ it, it will not be the end of the world—nor the end of you either.”
