Writing Success Program Scholarship
The Writing Success Program is honored to officially announce the Janet Brown Memorial Scholarship, which consists of three $1,000 non-renewable scholarship that will be awarded at the end of the 2009-2010 academic school year at the Community Programs Office Banquet .
Completed applications must be turned in to the mailbox of the Writing Success Program, which is located in the Student Retention Center Suite 105 in the Student Activities Center. The deadline for the scholarship application is Wednesday May 19, 2010 at 5:00pm. Applications can be turned in any time prior to the deadline, but late applications will not be accepted.
Janet Brown was the founder and director of the Writing Success Program, a program that has been part of the Student Retention Center since 2002. Janet believed strongly in the mission of the Student Retention Center (SRC), particularly the importance of holistic student empowerment and student leadership, outcomes that the SRC is committed to. As stated on the SRC website, our projects are designed to assist undergraduate students with academic difficulties and cultural and social transitions. We recognize how vital it is to have students not only empower themselves, but to uplift their communities by doing so.
The Writing Success Program aims to complement the efforts of the other Student Retention Center projects by developing students' critical thinking through the writing process and empowering students in both their writing and thinking abilities - an empowerment that carries over to their community work. Many students and alumni credit the program, and Janet Brown in particular, as being both supportive and influential in helping them find their voices through writing and in pursuing their passions.
Before she passed away in April 2009, Janet was working on a novel that centered on the idea of the importance of preserving culture in their indigenous communities. As a result, in acknowledgement of the value of preserving culture, the Janet Brown Scholarship hopes to award students who are actively working to promote and preserve culture in their communities.
Additionally, due to the pressure of the economic crisis, it has been increasingly hard for students to continue their education while doing this community work. As such, in an effort to foster the retention of students, the Janet Brown Scholarship hopes to reward students in financial need who, despite these obstacles, have committed themselves to preserving the culture of their community.
If you have any addition questions or concerns, please contact the Writing Success Program staff at writingsuccess@gmail.com.
Please distribute this scholarship information and application widely. Thank you for your time. Have a great day!
Best,
The Writing Success Program
