Prestigious fellowships Overview
Prestige Fellowships
Prestigious fellowships are nationally competitive scholarships and include the Marshall, Rhodes, Truman, Udall, and Goldwater. Most of these awards include scholarships that support graduate study in the U.S. or abroad and several require applicants to be nominated by their university. In order to help FAU students learn about and apply for these lucrative awards, FAU has established a number of recources including faculty advisors that will actively encourage faculty to identify and recruit potentially competitive candidates, cultivate prospective applicants, and organize the institutional screening of candidates when the rules of competition require this.
If you are interested in applying for a Prestigious Fellowship, please complete this form:

Must be nominated by faculty representative. The Truman Application consists of an Institutional Nomination form and letter, three additional letters of recommendation, a recent transcript, a 15 question application, and a policy proposal. Applications typically available in August. Deadline is typically early February, with an FAU internal deadline of Jan. 5.
Scholarship Web Site: http://www.udall.gov
Description: In 2014, the Foundation expects to award 50 scholarships of up to $5,000 and 50 honorable mentions to sophomore and junior level college students committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Native American health care. Scholarships are offered in any of three categories:
1. To students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to the environment including policy, engineering, science, education, urban planning and renewal, business, health, justice, economics, and other related fields.
2. To Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to tribal public policy, including fields related to tribal sovereignty, tribal governance, tribal law, Native American education, Native American justice, natural resource management, cultural preservation and revitalization, Native American economic development, and other areas affecting Native American communities.
3. To Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to Native health care, including health care administration, social work, medicine, dentistry, counseling, and research into health conditions affecting Native American communities, and other related fields.
Two-year and four-year institutions are eligible to nominate a total of six students from either or both categories, although it is recommended that the total be equally divided between them. To be considered, a student must be nominated by his or her college or university using the official nomination materials provided to each institution. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Each scholar receives up to $5,000, or the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board, whichever is less. Scholarship recipients are eligible for one year of scholarship support per application year. Scholarship monies not used during one academic year are not transferable to the succeeding academic year. Scholars selected during their sophomore year may be renominated during the next year's competition. Junior nominees may not be renominated. Freshmen and seniors are not eligible. There is no minimum gpa, but the average of recipients is 3.7. Some successful applicants had a GPA of 2.9. Applications available early October. Deadline is March 2, with an FAU internal deadline of Jan. 31.
Apply through the FAU faculty representative, Dr. William O'Brien.
First, determine which fellowship may be the best fit given your academic status, your discipline, accomplishments, experience, and goals. Prestigious fellowships are highly competitive and for most awards a strong academic record is essential. Some scholarships are applied for by sophomores or juniors, others by seniors or graduate students. Some are based partly on need; some are limited to certain disciplines. Some involve studying abroad, some involve a commitment upon completion (such as the Truman expectation of three years of public service). For further information consult the fellowships table, contact faculty/staff on the listed Prestigous Fellowship Committee below or email: fellowships@fau.edu
Second, go to the fellowship's website and gather information about what is required to apply. Consult with faculty who are likely to write recommendations and get their advice. You will typically need to secure at least 2-3 letters of reference, official transcripts, and in some cases data about financial need. It will be your responsibility to gather these items in a timely manner.
If you intend to apply for a Prestigious Scholarship, please complete this form:
If an institutional nomination is required, you must have your application materials submitted by FAU's internal deadline for materials, which will be well in advance of the scholarship deadline. FAU's internal deadlines for applications are or will be posted on the scholarship's page. For example, for the Rhodes and Marshall, applicants must submit all materials by September 1 so the FAU selection committee may conducts its internal review. The committee carefully reviews the application and letters of reference and interviews the applicant. If a candidate is recommended, then the final application must be submitted to FAU by September 30 so that FAU may endorse and submit the application by the October scholarship deadline.
Please be advised that the university will forward applications only if they meet the high standards of the scholarship program. Direct applications from the student to the scholarship program are not permitted where an institutional nomination is required.
If an institutional nomination is not required, you are still advised to contact the either David Flanigan, Monica Maldonado or fellowships@fau.edu so that we can provide advice and assistance.

Faculty can play a vital role in the prestige scholarship application process in at least 3 ways:
1. Identifying potential applicants.
Please email William O'Brien with the name of any outstanding students who may be competitive for a scholarship. There are scholarships available for sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, and even freshmen. You may use the resources of this website to learn more about the scholarships, but please nominate an outstanding student even if you aren't sure which scholarship would be most appropriate. We will then contact the student.
2. Providing advice and guidance to applicants.
3. Writing letters of recommendation.
Faculty letters of recommendation are among the most important factors for selection committees in deciding among candidates for a scholarship. Based on information conveyed at the Conference of the National Association of Fellowship Advisors, here are some tips:
1. Students are advised to waive their right to see the letter. Not waiving the right may be looked on unfavorably by selection committees.
2. Should you write the letter? Some faculty choose to have written policies for when they will write letters, such as that the student must have taken at least 2 classes from them, or received at least B's in the professor's classes. If a student approaches you for whom you could not write a positive letter, it would be best to decline. Note: The Goldwater targets students in the sciences and engineering with a research focus and prefers letters from faculty familiar with the student's research, though additional strong letters from non-science faculty beyond the 3 letters required may be helpful.
3. Meet with the student for 20 minutes, and/or invite the student to email you information about their accomplishments and goals, to help prepare your letter.
4. Be aware of the specific mission and goals of the scholarship the student is applying for. On this point, consider the Rhodes Scholarship "Procedures for Application" (2005), which says "Nor are the 'prepackaged' letters of recommendation filed by faculty members on behalf of students in many institutions suitable... Referees are asked to measure the applicant against the full range of the Rhodes Scholarship criteria and not to speak solely to those attributes which would, for example, be relevant to the evaluation of a student's acceptability to a post-graduate program." You are urged to contact the Prestige Scholarship Committee and go to the scholarship's website (list is online) to learn more about the specific scholarship.
5. Don't just say the student "is among the top 1% of all students I have known": the reviewers need to see convincing examples of WHY you rank the student so highly. Be specific. One example offered by an official of one of the UK Prestige Scholarships is: 'the student helped me to rethink a point and changed my way of understanding a subject' (followed by detailed explanation).
6. Don't just say, this is an 'A' student, or the student 'turns work in on time'; virtually all the applicants for these scholarships will be such students.
7. Letters of recommendation should show that the faculty really knows the person and is excited about them; pro-forma letters will not be helpful.
8. Certain phrases are viewed as codes with hidden meaning. For example, "Please contact me for further information" will likely be viewed as a code for a negative impression.
9. Do not overinflate and risk losing credibility for FAU. As a representative from Marshall put it, 'no one is superman'. If appropriate, you may wish to offer some criticism, perhaps introduced by acknowledging that the selection committee desires honest criticism, and you may limit this to a sentence or paragraph.
10. It is standard practice for the head of the Prestige Scholarships office who submits the application on behalf of the University to review letters and ask letter writers to make revisions if needed. Please do not hesitate to be in touch with the Director (contact information online) and seek feedback early on.

New life of old things. Stool – mushroom.
If the chair or stool slightly poistrepalis a slim or overweight bodies, they are usually painted and used for several years. We offer you an unusual, but very easy way for the original painting round stools. After the painting they are perfectly fit into the interior villa or apartment kitchen, garden or other places. Paint the "cover" of stool in red, and the rest – in white. Mark on the surface of the wheels and also paint them white. Amanita are delicious! Is not it?


A perfect blend of old school simplicity and current technology. Invest in an industrial strength ROXOR today and be prepared for the fun of accessorizing and customizing to match your adventure. This simple platform has proven itself worthy.
Some say this ROXOR SE is only a rumor. In fact, only 300 were ever made—one for each of our first 300 ROXOR dealers. One thing's for sure: One ride and you're sold! The ROXOR SE comes painted exclusively in Mammoth gray. It starts with standard LE content and is distinguished by a reflective dash panel featuring large, eye-catching graphics and a hood that boasts a unique SE graphic. Each ROXOR SE comes finished with a numbered, commemorative plaque just to let everyone know who, exactly, is haunting the trails.

How To Play Pokémon Go At Work Without Getting Fired
Anna Verasai
Human Resources department could be getting some headaches in coming days if not weeks, as people have started playing Pokémon Go at work. No kidding.
If you are not already aware of the game that has got people fired, here is what's all the rage about: Pokémon Go is a brand new game that was launched on 6th of July, which has galvanized tons of people to head out into their surroundings with their smartphone in search of a virtual Pokémon. It's only been a week since the game was debuted for iPhone and Android devices, but it has already caused a lot of issues in people's life as well as their career.
The game is not an archetypal smartphone game; it is empowered by augmented reality that merges the elements of the real world with the game. The game uses clock and GPS from the device to decide which characters will appear next to the user. Previously, the game was only for the handheld consoles that were manufactured by Nintendo. But, the augmented reality makes the game radically different from its previous versions, but the goal remains the same, that is, gotta catch 'em all.
But, the addictive game has got people fired from their jobs. Within a week of its launch, the app is already bigger than Tinder and has gained almost the same number of active users as Twitter on a daily basis.
It is obviously tempting to whip out your phone at work and start finding Pokémon at work, but this might frustrate your boss if not get you fired. One of the Pokémon trainer's boss left an angry note on his employees' desk to make it clear that they are not supposed to "catch 'em all" during work hours.
If you are uninitiated and don't know how to play Pokémon Go or have no clue what all the fuss is about, here is the game in a nutshell: It's kind of a virtual scavenger hunt, which allows players to hunt for 151 different characters on their smartphones while using augmented reality. To put it in different words, it is something that will allow you to explore the world surrounding your with the help of a smartphone and find them at coffee shops, at restaurants, at grocery stores and even at your jobs.
But, if you can't resist playing the addictive game at work, here are our tips on how to play Pokémon Go at work without getting fired:
Try to ignore any Pokémon that you find on or near your boss, unless you have a mutual understanding about playing Pokémon Go at work.
Go out for lunch or to put in other words, go on Pokémon hunt during your break hours. Having lunch outside of the office, preferably at a Poke Stop will allow you to catch some of the rarest characters.
Take Poké walks with your colleagues or volunteer to run errands for co-workers. If your colleagues are also your fellow trainers, you can go to catch the rarest Pokémon, as you might already know that they won't come to you, you have to go and look for them. If your co-workers are not so cool then you can volunteer to get coffee or lunch for your co-workers, thus getting almost 15 minutes of uninterrupted Pokémon hunting time. You don't need to tell them the selfish side of doing them the favor and you will be considered as the selfless superstar of the office!

Bryce Green, 12, center, takes part in a Black Lives Matter protest march with his friend Danilo Petrovic, 13, right, and others Saturday, April 15, 2017, in Seattle. Several thousand people attended a downtown rally and then marched to the federal courthouse to call attention to minority rights and police brutality.
Progressive protesters, from Charlottesville to Chicago, have fought to reject the structural privileges of White identity -- especially when such privileges oppress others. This White identity is generally defined in contrast to a "black and brown identity". Another common term to describe marginalized people is "people of color," suggesting all non-White people have a homogeneously uniform experience of oppression. A growing group of activists and scholars is pushing back on the term. They argue that using the term "People of Color" to reflexively describe the struggles of all non-White people erases the unique experiences of some marginalized groups instead of others. Recently, University of Chicago sociologist Eve Ewing tweeted that journalists will often talk about how, "children of color are disproportionately suspended from schools. But the data suggest that only Black and native Americans are disproportionately affected, not other racial or ethnic groups like Latinos, Asians, or Arabs". Ewing argued that the term "people of color" is often a euphemistic tool to avoid authentic or uncomfortable discussions on Black issues, and that the term co-opts Black suffering onto other racial groups. At a time when U.S. leadership openly promotes racial tensions, we'll discuss how anti-Blackness resonates among non-White people.
We also asked for listener calls on our hotline. We'll play a few responses.


The holiday season at Disneyland has a lot to offer as far as entertainment goes. From fireworks shows to overlays, there is a lot to do and see. Here is a look at a few of the offerings that Disneyland has available through January 6, 2019.
Watch as Grizzly Peak, at DCA, gets a full covering of the only kind of snow that locals will ever see in Anaheim. Catch the snowfalls in person on the path between the Churro cart by Grizzly River Rapids and the Rushin' River Outfitters store. Snow starts at 5:30 PM and every 20 minutes after that.
The Viva Navidad Street Party is back again this year and is just as exciting. Watch as The Three Caballeros dance and sing accompanied by mariachi and samba musicians, dancers, and giant puppets. This show is available six times a day in the Paradise Gardens Park area at DCA.
Disneyland's "Believe… In Holiday Magic" fireworks show is one that guests tend to stake out seats for hours in advance. The view from in front of "it's a small world holiday" can be just as spectacular with projections and music and is as close in proximity as you can get to the actual fireworks.
Speaking of "it's a small world holiday," here is a full ride-through of the attraction that we all know and love with a holiday twist. This is not one to miss. The attraction is fully transformed for the holiday season and displays regional decorations throughout, and of course, welcoming all into 2019.
For more photos and an in-depth look at "it's a small world holiday", see our post here.
Christmas at Disneyland would not be complete without "A Christmas Fantasy Parade." Here is the full video of the parade on its first evening back.
This parade runs twice a day, every day through January 6, 2019, when the holiday season officially ends at Disneyland.


It has come to our attention that several agencies or persons, are claiming to be acting on World Vision's behalf in recruiting or facilitating the recruitment of personnel.
World Vision does not outsource its recruitment process to any organization or agency which, through website postings, mass e-mail messages, newsletters or otherwise claims to be doing recruitment on its behalf. World Vision will only use approved and reputable executive search firms (exception basis only).
Advertisements for vacant positions can only be found on our official World Vision International career website http://careers.wvi.org and/or on World Vision Support Office websites.


River ecosystems receive and process vast quantities of terrestrial organic carbon, the fate of which depends strongly on microbial activity. Variation in and controls of processing rates, however, are poorly characterized at the global scale. In response, we used a peer-sourced research network and a highly standardized carbon processing assay to conduct a global-scale field experiment in greater than 1000 river and riparian sites. We found that Earth's biomes have distinct carbon processing signatures. Slow processing is evident across latitudes, whereas rapid rates are restricted to lower latitudes. Both the mean rate and variability decline with latitude, suggesting temperature constraints toward the poles and greater roles for other environmental drivers (e.g., nutrient loading) toward the equator. These results and data set the stage for unprecedented "next-generation biomonitoring" by establishing baselines to help quantify environmental impacts to the functioning of ecosystems at a global scale.
