Description:
The HRC Foundation will award three non-renewable $2,000 scholarships to LGBT and allied students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the fight for queer equality.
At HRC, the goal of the Youth & Campus Outreach Program is to provide tools, facilitate connections and empower GenEQ (Generation Equality) to fight for LGBT equality on campus and beyond. In that spirit, we’re committed to helping young queers and allies reach institutions of higher education and equipping them with the means they need to remain there.
All too often, LGBT students face obstacles in the pursuit of education, whether it’s a lack of family support or bad experiences in the classroom. Those reasons, combined with the current economy, make it even more important that HRC provide help to those seeking or already in higher education.
The HRC Foundation is pleased to offer the Generation Equality Scholarship to three exceptional student activists who share our commitment to LGBT equality and will continue to create meaningful change on their campuses and in their communities.
This year, we will be awarding one scholarship in each of three categories:
1. First-year students for upcoming academic year
2. Returning four-year school students
3. Returning community college students
Priority will be given to applicants who:
* Self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or an ally
* Have applied to or are enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education
* Have demonstrated a commitment or contribution to the LGBT community
* Are in good academic standing
* Have demonstrated need for financial assistance
The application deadline for upcoming academic year is 11:59 pm EST on April 16.

Description:
The Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship (TDRS) was established in 2004 to encourage and support LGBT students in their quest for a higher education. As tuition and other related costs have skyrocketed in the U.S. in the last few years, funding a college education has become a daunting challenge, particularly for some LGBT students.

Applicants must demonstrate their motivation to making a difference with their lives. Applications are judged on one or more of the following criteria: academic excellence, outstanding community service and commitment to impacting LGBT issues. Leadership, merit, professional and personal goals will all be considered.
The TDRS grants scholarships to lesbian-identified students in two categories: 1) Graduating high school seniors who plan on attending a recognized college or university; and, 2) Already matriculated college students in any year of study, including graduate school.
A Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship may be used for tuition, books or room and board, and is paid directly to the recipient’s school to meet the financial needs of the student. Three $3,000 scholarships will be awarded in June and are non-renewable. All qualified applicants not awarded the TDRS may reapply.

Rhodes Scholarship 2012-2013
If you are a resident of the United States and plan to pursue an advanced degree abroad, Rhodes Scholarhip provides you a right opportunity to fund your education. Under this prestigious educational aid scheme, 32 students are funded for studying at the Oxford University in England. American president Clinton and poet Robert Penn Warren are two famous alums. Rhodes Scholarship has the privilege of being the oldest international fellowship program.
Honesty is the Best Policy
Whatever strategies you develop must be based on truth. In desperation, parents and students should not indulge in unethical and illegal practices. Speaking out the truth on financial aid application may hurt a little, lying on the application may result into getting severe penalties. Whenever there is a case of fraud, the financial aid administrators send notifications to the US Department of Education.
Strategies to Follow
There are multiple strategies that you can adopt to increase your chances of receiving need based scholarships. Some of the most important ones include -
Remember to save money in parent's name rather than in the child's name. There are many saving options where your saving can be treated as a parent asset. The 529 college savings plan is a good example of that. Prepaid tuition plan and Coverdell Education Savings Account are the other saving option you can use.
Another important strategy to follow is parents can go back to advance their educational qualification along with the children. Or else, you can also have multiple children attending college at one time. The greater the number of family members in college at one time is, the bigger the chances are of receiving more education financial aid.
You may have several necessary expenses. Fulfill those necessities to reduce the amount of money available in cash. Therefore, if there is an urgent need to buy a car or a computer, buy them before you actually file the FAFSA.
Try to minimize capital gains and maximize your contributions towards the retirement fund. If you plan to pay some college education expenses, remember not to pay the amount from your retirement fund. Instead, you should use the cash money present in your bank accounts. Also reduce your educational debt. You should be well informed that a 529 college savings plan has the least possible impact on the student financial aid.
If you have credit card debts and loan balances to repay, pay them off first. Pay off your mortgage as well. Even when you file the FAFSA, you need to select the date wisely. The assets you possess and the marital status of the student will be taken into consideration as per the date of the application.

Community Service
You may be average in terms of academic potential. However, you can win financial aid if you have been actively involved in serving a community.

Some of the most popular community grants are as follows.
The Do Something Awards
Discover Card Tribute Award
Prudential Spirit of Community Awards
Tyenol Scholarship

Act of Kindness
Your kind deeds done to the community should not go unrewarded. So, even if you are an average student, you can win education grants by doing some acts of kindness and volunteering in the community. You can apply for scholarships like AngelSoft Angels in Action and Hiram College Hal Reichle Memorial Scholarship.
Essay Contests
Several scholarships are available where you can win free money by winning essay contests. These essay contests are held both locally and at state level. Whether you are a high school student, a graduate student or an undergraduate, you can participate in these contests and win free education grants, awarded every year to students who may otherwise be average in educational talent.

Benefits of Research Grants
There are several reasons that compel students to apply for research grants. The funding helps students take their unique work to the next level. Accessibility to rare materials and expensive equipment also helps students a lot. Not only short term, but research grants also provide long term benefits. For instance, a traveling research grant can cover the entire cost of transportation incurred while traveling to different research sites across the world.
Similarly, there are institutional grants that cover the cost of using expensive materials and equipment and visiting places like special collections library. If you need materials for completing your research project, there are grants available for that too. However, these benefits are not limited to just your project. These grants also help you build a reputation for yourself and be identified as a committed scholar. While doing your work at research sites, graduates also get the opportunity to connect with experts in this field.
And how can you forget the long term benefits? You also get equipped with important skills like making a case of your work and convincing others. Most importantly, grant credits add a lot of weight to your resume and impress future employers. Even if you are looking for more funding opportunities, these grant credits can be of great help.
