RE: Scholarship Application
It is my pleasure to announce a scholarship available for the first time this spring. The Brazos Valley QueSt organization has raised enough money to offer $1000 in scholarships funds. The mission and purpose of Brazos Valley QueSt is to celebrate the queer and queer-supportive community of the Brazos Valley by providing events designed to raise funds for local queer and queer-supportive organizations. Our motto is: On a QueSt to Unite Our Queer/Straight Community.
Over the past several years Brazos Valley QueSt has held a wide range of fund raisers benefiting Aggie Allies, GLBT Aggies, the Brazos GLBT Oral History Project, the GLBT Professional Network at Texas A&M University and AIDS Services of the Brazos Valley. The scholarship is a new portion of our philanthropy.
We are asking you share this information with current or former students who meet the following qualifications: applicants must be a Brazos Valley resident who will be attending an accredited college or university for the 2007-2008 academic year and who identifies as GLBT or an ally. The application can be found at bvQueSt.com/scholarship. The deadline for scholarship submissions is February 5, 2007. All applications must be submitted via email to:
Scholarship Coordinator
Kate Kiernat
scholarship@BVQueSt.com
I have enclosed a hard copy of the application for your records. All applications need to be submitted via email. Once the February 2, 2007 deadline has passed the scholarship committee will review and rank all applications. From that ranking and discussion of the committee, we will decide on the inaugural recipient of the 2007 Brazos Valley QueSt Scholarship. The winner will be announced at the 2007 Spring GAYla held on March 3, 2007 at Halo in downtown Bryan, TX.
If you have questions about the Brazos Valley QueSt Scholarship, please do not hesitate to contact me at scholarship@BVQueSt.com or 979.314.4532.
Thank you for your assistance in letting students know of a scholarship opportunity.
