Scholorship Update
At the 1989 annual AISES conference in Minneapolis,
AISES awarded $1,000 scholarships to 133 very talented
and deserving science and engineering students. Every
year we have seen an increase in the number of student
applicants and certainly the quality has not diminished.
As we continue to grow, we hope to award as many or
more at the annual AISES conference next year in
Buffalo, New York.
A big "thank you" goes to all current scholarship
recipients, most of you have responded well in writing
thank you letters to your corporate donors. Remember
that you must reapply again for the 1990-91 scholarship
awards.
We will be breaking tradition in the next scholarship
cycle. In past years the names of scholarship recipients
were withheld until the night of the awards ceremony at
the conference. This year, however, each scholarship
winner will be notified prior to the conference. We
would like to see all the scholarship winners join us at
the conference to accept their awards. Sponsoring
corporations are very interested in meeting their
scholarship winners and this will allow corporate
representatives to have personal contact with the
student. For some, this means career andor summer
employment opportunities.
The scholarship applications for 1990-91 will be mailed
in February to current AISES members. If you are a
current member as of February 1, 1990, and do not
receive an application by March 15, call AISES to
request another. Please adhere to the August 1,
deadline. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated.
