Other Scholarships That Support Graduate Study |
|
|
Jack Kent Cooke Scholarships
are among the most generous and the least restrictive. Created when the
Canadian-born entrepreneur died in 1997, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation funds a
number of scholarship programs, including the Graduate Scholarships. These
scholarships provide funding for up to six years of graduate or professional
study in any field. College seniors or recent graduates with outstanding
academic records, will to succeed, a commitment to
service, and an appreciation for
the arts and humanities are encouraged to apply. Unmet financial need is
also a criterion for selection. Jack Kent Cooke Scholars may study at U.S.
institutions or abroad. |

Hertz
Scholarships support up to five years of graduate study in applied
physical sciences at specified universities that are among the best in the
nation. The John and Fannie Herz Foundation looks to support “the
graduate education of America's most promising technical talent, the
Ph.D.-directed effort of the young men and women who can be expected to have the
greatest impact on the application of the physical sciences to human problems
during the next half-century.” Hertz was a businessman of Austrian origins who
was committed to the applied sciences.
James Madison Scholarships
are very specifically targeted on supporting Master’s Degree study for U.S.
teachers or future teachers of Social Studies. The purpose of the program is to
encourage serious study of the principles of the U.S. Constitution. |
