SEMY seeking Donations & Applications for Scholarship

Hello everyone,

I hope this email finds you in good health.

I want to invite you to please encourage students to apply for our scholarship. As of right now, we only have about $500 in funds; however, we have a couple of fundraisers in the horizon and more pledges starting this next month, as well as a matching donation of $1000 from the Washington Apple Foundation. Our goal is to have at least $2000 for our 2010-2011 scholaships winners.

Application information-- Please encourage students to apply for these scholarships. http://www.waef.org/files/documents/WAEF_Universal_Scholarship_Application.pdf

Donation information--feel free to make a check out to WAEF and mail to: WAEF, 2900 Euclid Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801 OR go to their website and do the contribution online. If you chose to do the contribution online you can go to WAEF.org, allocate the donation to "other" and then designate it to the Migrant Student Leadership and Academic Scholarship.

Thank you in advance for contributing to our scholarship and sharing the application with students.

Con respeto y cariño,

New Scholarship from Western Union Foundation

Just learned about this new interesting scholarship called the Family Scholarship Program from Western Union Foundation (thank you DREAM Activist for the info).

There is no citizenship requirement but 2 members of your family must apply, for instance, yourself and your father or sister. Here is the link for more detailed information http://foundation.westernunion.com/ourProgramsScholarships.html
