The Foundation defines public service as work, whether paid or as a volunteer, in government at any level; in organizations serving the public interest; in national, international, regional or local health organizations; and in service-oriented non-profit organizations such as those whose primary purposes are to help disadvantaged persons or protect the environment.
Fields of study which can lead to public service include (but are not limited to) the sciences, both biological and physical, engineering, technology, agriculture, environmental management, economics, political science, and the other social sciences, English, history, and the other liberal arts and humanities, public health, public administration, government and education.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
A. Maintain satisfactory academic performance (upper 1/3 of his/her class).
B. Carry out their public service project; project funds will be available by June 1, and projects should be "completed" by the following April 15. (That is, the proposed project should be carried out by April 15 so it can be presented and discussed later that month at the all-day Spring meeting. Because we prize projects that are sustainable indefinitely, a project shouldn't actually be completed by April 15, but merely marking its first year then.)
C. Send a bimonthly update to the Foundation, on the status of their project. Updates will be due September 15, November 1, January 15, and March 1.
D. Attend a meeting* for all Strauss Scholarship recipients in the spring of the senior year to make a presentation about the project: how it went, what was learned, etc. (Expenses for travel will be paid by the Foundation and will include airfare, where appropriate, and/or mileage reimbursement.) * This mandatory all-day meeting is a crucial component of the scholarship process.
E. Submit a written assessment of the project by email to the Foundation two days prior to the Mandatory Spring Meeting in April. This summary should be limited to 2 pages typed and double spaced.
F. Disbursement of the final $2,000 of the $10,000 award will be made upon completion of all five of the above listed responsibilities.
G. In addition to the above it is strongly recommended that all scholars plan to attend one of the Foundation's Regional Meetings that will be held in November.
The Foundation may withhold or terminate a scholarship due to unsatisfactory academic performance. Scholars may request postponement of their awards because of ill health or other mitigating circumstances.

USA-The Beinecke Scholarship Program
The Beinecke Scholarship Program
The Beinecke Scholarship Program was established in 1971 by the Board of Directors of The Sperry and Hutchinson Company to honor Edwin, Frederick, and Walter Beinecke. The Board created an endowment to provide substantial scholarships for the graduate education of young men and women of exceptional promise.
The program seeks to encourage and enable highly motivated students to pursue opportunities available to them and to be courageous in the selection of a graduated course of study. Since 1975 the program has selected more than 370 college juniors from 97 different schools for support during graduate study at any accredited university. Each scholar receives $2,000 immediately prior to entering graduate school and an additional $30,000 while attending graduate school. There are no geographic restrictions on the use of the scholarship, and recipients are allowed to supplement the award with other scholarships, assistantships and research grants. Scholars are encouraged to begin graduated study as soon as possible following graduation from college, and must utilize all of the funding within five years of completion of undergraduate studies.
Historically, the Beinecke selection committee favored students planning to attend graduate school in the traditional liberal arts disciplines, but also made awards to students planning to attend graduate school in mathematics and the natural sciences. In 1998, the board of The Sperry Fund decided to limit eligibility for the award to students planning to attend graduate school in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Each year approximately 100 colleges and universities are invited to nominate a student for a Beinecke Scholarship, and 22 new scholarships will be awarded in 2008. Each school invited to participate in the Beinecke Scholarship Program is permitted to make a single nomination each year. Students enrolled at a participating institution who are interested in applying for a Beinecke Scholarship should contact their campus liaison for information regarding the procedure to be followed in selecting the school's nominee.
Conditions of Eligibility
To be eligible for a Beinecke Scholarship, a student must:
-
-
-
Plan to enter a master's or doctoral program in the arts, humanities or social sciences. Students in the social sciences who plan to pursue graduate study in neuroscience should not apply for a Beinecke Scholarship.
-
-
An original and four copies of the nomination package should be submitted by the dean or designated administrative officer in a single mailing to arrive no later than March 1, 2008. Each nomination must include the following materials:
A Beinecke Scholar receives a total of $34,000 in support of his or her graduate education. The initial payment of $4,000 is awarded directly to the student prior to entering graduate school. This award is intended to offset the costs associated with the graduate application process and to pay for travel expenses directly related to the start of graduated school. While in graduate school, a Beinecke Scholar will receive an additional $30,000 in support. These funds are awarded as a supplement to support provided by the graduate school and the award may be spread over up to five years to comply with institutional limits on the total amount of a student's annual award. In the absence of institutional support or limits, scholars may receive a maximum award of $15,000 per year. These funds are sent directly to the financial aid officer of the institution where the student is enrolled and disbursed in accordance with the scholarship policy of the academic institution. In addition, the following policies apply to the award:
