Perry Newell, Funding College Project announcement.
Education is a basic human right, and it is central to unlocking human capabilities. It also has tremendous instrumental value. Education raises human value, productivity, incomes, economic growth and employability. But its benefits go far beyond these monetary gains: education also makes people healthier and gives them more control over their lives.
And it generates trust, boosts social understanding, and creates institutions that promote inclusion and shared prosperity.
Looking ahead for some and a reminder to others.
When mailed in Washington State, local and national awards are listed, Online all resources listed.

Elementary and Middle School – But did you know that there are ample opportunities for elementary and middle school students? Start asking…
If you have been following my posts, you know that scholarships aren’t simply for high school seniors and current college students. There are many programs available to high school underclassmen, graduate schools, and even adults who are heading back to college or attending for the first time.
But did you know that there are also ample opportunities for elementary and middle school students? It’s true! Unfortunately, due to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), online scholarship search services are not available to students under the age of 13, which can make finding these opportunities a little more difficult.
That’s why I felt it was important to share with you some of the programs that are currently open (and others that may be opening soon) for younger students.
Our success in helping others to earn International, National and local awards comes in part, because we are an OPEN ACCESS PORTAL, which receives assistance from planners, program administers and granters from around the world.

EXPLORAVISION: A NATIONAL SCIENCE COMPETITION FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS & MIDDLE SCHOOL (K-12)
More than just a student science competition! For a quick summary, please watch a video about ExploraVision.
Since its inception in 1992, more than 450,000 students from across the United States and Canada have participated in Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision. It’s a fun and engaging program that can inspire a lifelong love of science, technology and innovation for students and teachers alike.
The ExploraVision competition for K-12 students engages the next generation in real world problem solving with a strong emphasis on STEM. ExploraVision challenges students envision and communicate new technology 10 or more years in the future through collaborative brainstorming and research of current science and technology.
ExploraVision is a science competition that goes beyond the typical student science competition and into what it takes to bring ideas to reality. A teacher will sponsor and lead his/her students as they work in groups of 2 – 4 to simulate real research and development. A teacher will guide his or her students as they pick a current technology, research it, envision what it might look like in 10 or more years, and describe the development steps, pros & cons, and obstacles. Past winners have envisioned technologies ranging from a hand-held food allergen detector to a new device to help people who have lost limbs regain movement in real time.

How to Prepare Elementary School Students for Scholarships
Parents often scramble to the scholarship process at junior or senior year but by then, it may be too late. Once parents and kids see the amount of service work and career-related accolades required for these applications, they soon wish they had started preparing their college-bound child for scholarships in elementary school. You can start preparing your elementary-school age child for the scholarship process as early as 1st or 2nd grade!
Here’s how to get going.
Set Expectations – As soon as you can, talk to your children about college and how valuable a good education is. Once you frame the conversation in a context they can understand, make it plain that it will cost money and that you will have to work together as a family to make sure your child can go to school, preferably without borrowing money.
Find Out Career Interests Early On – While it might sound difficult to gage the interests, you as the parent can take note regarding what your child is interested in and what they enjoy in their free time.
Volunteering/Interning – Once you are familiar with your child’s interests and potential career paths, it’s not a bad idea to get them started volunteering with related organizations. Also, many scholarships will ask for specific records of service hours completed, so it’s good to start as early as possible.
Choose Strategic Activities – Not to suck all the fun out of childhood, but at some point, you might have to make a decision about the type and amount of extra-curricular activities your child can do. Activities will have to be well chosen and fit strategically into the narrative you are trying to create for potential scholarships and colleges.
Compete in Essay & Art Contests – There are hundreds, if not thousands of essay contests offered up to kids each year at the elementary school level.
More Competition – If your child has more of a competitive streak, encourage them to enter into contests like math bowls, or spelling bees or national science fairs.
Start a College Savings Account – This is more for morale purposes. If you can show that you are serious about getting your child’s education funded; they are more likely to join you in this team effort.
Good Grades & Report – This is a good time to talk about what is expected of your child in terms of grades, test scores and even behavior. They will need to have a good reputation at school not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because elementary school teachers are the one who recommend students and pass essay submissions onto state or national level for the competitions we mentioned above. If your child is not a good test-taker, now would be a good time to get help for them.
