Greetings!
I am John Haywood, the Scholarship Chair of Mensa of Jacksonville. I am trying to contact all the guidance/college counselors at high schools in the area of Mensa of Jacksonville (which includes most of Clay and St.Johns and all of Duval and Nassau Counties) to advertise The Mensa Foundation's College Scholarship Program.
All high school students living in the boundaries of our chapter that is, having a home address in one of the zip codes listed here: http://www.us.mensa.org/AML/?LinkServID=28841014-E081-4C23-C419728D2A0FA5E3)are eligible, as are any students who are members of Mensa. Interested students must be enrolled in a degree program in an accredited U.S. institution of higher learning for the upcoming academic year.
Applicants must each submit an application and essay no longer than 550 words explaining their career, academic and/or vocational goals. Full rules and guidelines can be found at http://www.mensafoundation.org/foundation/?LinkServID=C50E17A7-E081-4C23-C41458DBF816D963
and http://www.mensafoundation.org/what-we-do/scholarships/ has further details.
All applications are considered solely on the basis of the merit of the application essay; awards are unrestricted as to age, race, gender, level of post-secondary education, grade point average and financial need.
Interested students can apply at
