From Tourism Cares, maybe some of those focusing on Ecotourism would like to apply for this. SHORT TURNAROUND!!!
The application deadline for the Tourism Cares 2009 Spring Academic Scholarships is next Wednesday April 1, 2009 at 5pm EST. Since we have moved to an online scholarship platform, all but one item (the official transcript) must be scanned and submitted in electronic form only. The student can access our online scholarship platform through our website www.tourismcares.org and click Scholarships on the navigation bar. Once one is on the Scholarship landing page, a few paragraphs from the #2 on that page, the click here will take them to it. When the system asks for “TC Student ID#”, they can make up any 8 digit number. When it asks for “County”, if their county is not on the list, they can select “Other”.
A student may apply for up to two different Tourism Cares scholarships per academic year.
Tourism Cares requires the student to request an official copy of his/her transcript be sent directly from the applicant’s school to Tourism Cares at 275 Turnpike Street, Suite 307, Canton, MA 02021, USA, Attention: Transcript.
