Planetary Society Offers New Scholarships
Students entering space-related fields may want to study the new
scholarships offered by The Planetary Society. The Society will award two
Planetary Society Scholarship for Space Studies each year for the next five
years, beginning with the 2002-2003 school year.
Both high school seniors and full-time college students can apply for the
$1000 scholarships. Applicants must write a 500-word essay about how they
plan to use the scholarship, and how that use will be related to the mission
of The Planetary Society.
To be eligible to apply students must either be a member of the Society or
nominated by a member of it. They also need to submit the scholarship
application and required materials no later than April 30, 2002.
For more information about The Planetary Society's new Scholarships for
Space Studies, visit the Society's website at http://planetary.org or call
Linda Wong at (626)793-5100.
The Society is also offering this year a full-tuition scholarship to the
International Space University (ISU) Summer Session. The scholarship is
open to all candidates who have already been accepted to attend the 2002 ISU
summer session, but who have not yet secured scholarships to cover their
fees. This year's ISU summer session will be held in Pomona, California.
The Jim and Lin Burke Scholarship was named for James (Jim) and Lin Burke,
long-time advocates and staff participants in the ISU summer session and
active Planetary Society members. Jim Burke, one of the pioneers of
America's space program, is the technical editor of the Society's magazine,
The Planetary Report. The Jim and Lin Burke scholarship was made possible
by a donation from ISU graduate, Eric Tilenius.
