These are not attached to any particular course of study. Scholarship winners will be required to take part in promotional activities to promote the scholarship scheme and the Summer School.

The scholarships are designed to offer assistance to outstanding candidates who will benefit from the King’s Summer School experience. Applications are open to Home/EU or international applicants.

In order to be eligible to apply, applicants must  have applied and been offered a place on the 2013 Summer School.

Assessment of your application will be based on your supporting statement together with academic grades. The statement should explain and demonstrate how attendance on the King’s College London Summer School will benefit your academic and professional future.

Scholarships 2013 : Scholarships With Application Deadlines In May 2013

May 3, 2013: The MassMutual Scholars Program

Interested in a career in insurance or financial services? Then, this could be a great scholarship for you.

The MassMututal Scholars Program is a national scholarship contest awarding up to $5,000 to at least 30 deserving students. If this sounds awesome, then here are the requirements:

• Must be of African-American, Asian/Pacific Islander, or Hispanic descent
• Must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident
• Must be entering your sophomore, junior, or senior year of college
• Must be attending an accredited 4-year college or university
• Must have at least a 3.0 GPA
• Must be interested in pursuing a career in the insurance or financial services industry
• Must apply for federal financial aid by completing the FAFSA
• Must demonstrate leadership and participation in extra-curricular activities

I know, there are a lot of “musts” in there, but nothing to be concerned about. Given the potential size of the scholarship award and the number of winners, I’d say this is a “must apply” for those of you who are eligible.

May 31, 2013: The Direct Marketing Education Foundation Scholarships

This one is for the marketing students!

The Direct Marketing Education Foundation has a ton of scholarships and they are seeking applicants. While there are a variety of available scholarships, this organization only requires students to complete one application in order to be considered. 

Minimal effort + lots of scholarships = a golden ticket! 

Here are the eligibility requirements for this scholarship taken from their website):

• Must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident
• Must be enrolled as a full-time student at a 4-year university
• Must have at least a 3.0 GPA
• Must show a commitment to pursuing a career in direct/interactive marketing (i.e., applicants should have taken two or more courses focused on: direct marketing, interactive marketing, email marketing,  electronic marketing, mobile marketing, social marketing, business-to-business marketing, not-for-profit marketing, database marketing, customer relationship marketing, or  integrated marketing communications). Students with internships focused in these areas will also be considered.

As you can see, the requirements are pretty favorable. Again, the ability to be considered for multiple scholarships by completing one application is a rare find in the scholarship world, so take advantage of this one ASAP.

May 31, 2013: Adelante! Scholarship Fund
