Updated Proposal

Hey guys! We went edit our proposal last week and I'm just now getting the updated version on here. Sorry it took so long:)


Crossing Borders
Scholarship Proposal

We are a group of students in Skye Gentiles communication 2 class who have been given the opportunity to create and complete a leadership project of our choice. For our project we have decided to establish an annual scholarship that aims at hosting a student who doesn’t have the resources or support yet is striving to pursue a higher education. We believe that all people deserve and bare the right to achieve their educational goals. Educating oneself is not a luxury but a right, and we are dedicated to providing at least one more outlet for making these goals a reality.

We have created the following requirements for the scholarship applicants to be considered to be rewarded with the scholarship:
o 3.0 GPA of higher
o In good academic standing at current school
o Must be currently enrolled in a Communications course*
o Provide Transcripts from current school
o Two letters of recommendation
• One academic
• One personal
o Prove low-income status
o Two one page student statements
• What are your future educational and career goals?
• What do you hope to take from this experience in order to apply it to your future community?

We are going to try to find a school to get in contact with to become a sister school with to help advertise the scholarship to their students.

We are going to fundraise money through sponsorships, a silent art auction, and other fund raising techniques.

Our goal is for this to be a positive learning experience for the selected student that allows them to achieve their educational goals.





* If you are a high school student you will be required to enroll in at least one communications course.
