SCHOLARSHIPS: $10,000 Scholarships for Minority Students

NOTE: AAPI students DO qualify for these, as long as they have the required majors.


Subject: $10,000 Scholarships for Minority Students

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund will be awarding $10,000 scholarships
this fall as part of a program with Marathon Oil Corporation.

They will be awarded to minority students for up to 2 years - a
potential of $20k per student, plus up to 3 summers of paid
internships with Marathon!

These opportunities are open to African
American, Asian/Pacific-

Islander and American Indian students as well
as Hispanic students.

Please get the information about these excellent scholarships directly
into the hands of your students. To accomplish this, please forward
this email to some of the following people, with a request that they
email this information to students:

1) The person responsible for minority/under-represented students in
your department

2) The person coordinating scholarships in your department

3) Someone in administration/student affairs who can email this
information directly to your students

The application deadline for this program is November 1, so please get
this information to your students as soon as possible.

Specific eligibility criteria and the application itself can be viewed at

Please keep in mind that HSF awards over 4,100 scholarships each year,
across disciplines, and that applying for the Marathon program also
qualifies students for other opportunities, many of which are
designated for students in your department.
