FAQS

Understanding the scholarship process.

Who qualifies as a Folds of Honor "First Responder"?
The term "first responder" includes a firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and other individuals (including employees of a legally organized and recognized volunteer organization, whether compensated or not), who, in the course of his or her professional duties, responds to fire, medical, hazardous material spills, or similar emergencies.

As a First Responder, what are the eligibility requirements for Folds of Honor scholarships?

1. Eligibility for FOH First Responder scholarships extend to the spouse and/or dependent(s) of a first responder who has fallen or has been catastrophically injured.

2. Required documentation includes proof of service, death certificate for fallen first responder, and/or letter from the respective agency outlining the event that led to the death or catastrophic injury. A certificate from a medical provider (e.g. primary care or attending physician) that provides the medical explanation of the injury and its impact on the First Responder may also be accepted as proof of a catastrophic injury.

What educational categories are considered for First Responder Folds of Honor scholarships?
FOH First Responder Scholarships provide funding for private school tuition or tutoring in grades K-12, tuition for college, technical or trade school and post-graduate work, including a master's degree, doctorate, or professional program. Funds for a second bachelor's degree or trade/technical program certification are also available.

If I'm no longer a First Responder, are my children eligible for the scholarships?
If you sustained a catastrophic injury that ended your career as a first responder, your spouse and dependents are eligible for our scholarships.

Are all of my children eligible to apply for the scholarships?
There is not a limit to how many of your dependents can apply for the scholarships.

What is the time frame that my family has to apply for the scholarships? (e.g. incident occurred several years ago).
There is not a time limit to apply for the scholarship. If your spouse or dependents meet the eligibility criteria, they are welcome to apply.

What happens if I miss the deadline to apply?
Our scholarship application window runs from February 1 to March 31 every year. Unfortunately, we are not able to make accommodations outside of that time frame.

What are the educational requirements to maintain the "legacy" status for my children?
Legacy status is maintained through receiving the scholarship for consecutive years in a row. Folds of Honor scholarship eligibility requirements dictate that upon acceptance of a scholarship award offer, a student must be able to provide an official transcript showing a 2.0 or higher GPA for the two most recent academic terms (Fall and Spring, not Summer). If a student can't provide an official transcript with the two most recent term GPA's at 2.0 or higher, the scholarship offer will be rescinded and the student won't be able to reapply until an official transcript can be provided showing two consecutive terms (fall and spring), each with a GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Are adopted children of a first responder eligible?
Yes! The adopted children of first responders are eligible. Applicants will be asked to provide the appropriate documentation showing proof of dependency.

Does the incident have to be considered "on-duty" for eligibility?
The incident does not have to be considered "on-duty" for eligibility. If the death or catastrophic, career-ending injury was sustained while the first responder was on active duty, their spouse or dependents are eligible to apply.

If you didn't find your questions in the provided list above, please contact the Folds of Honor scholarship department at (918) 274-4700 or email us at [email protected] .

Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm Central Time.

Penn State College of Medicine offers a number of experiences for high school students interested in exploring careers in health care and biomedical sciences.

Opportunities include:

Research Observation and Internships

High school students wishing short-term (one- to two-day) research shadowing (observational) opportunities. These experiences are intended for students who want to explore research opportunities by observing the work of research professionals, but do not permit hands-on research. Alternatively, high school students wishing an extended (several weeks or months) practical hands-on laboratory research experience can apply for a research internship.

Such internships are intended as part of career exploration or to enhance credentials for college admission. Students need to be in academic good standing, and may identify and apply directly to a specific laboratory mentor/supervisor (MD, PhD, DVM or equivalent) at the College of Medicine. Research mentors can be identified on the Penn State Research Portal. This option is available for high school students older than 16 where the research project is a part of their academic program.
Note that this program has been halted until further notice due to COVID-19.
Health Care Career Exploration Program

The Health Care Career Exploration Program is a partnership of Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Penn State College of Medicine and local high schools.

How to Write a High School Resume from Princeton Review

# data[].attributes.body
https://www.princetonreview.com/college-advice/high-school-resume

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Think resumes are only for job seekers? Think again. High school student resumes give colleges a snapshot of your accomplishments, extracurriculars, hobbies, and work history. They can also be a useful tool for prepping for a college interview or to give to the teachers who are writing your letters of recommendation .

Not sure how to get started? Follow our tips for crafting a standout resume for college and scholarship applications.

What should go on a college resume?

Any of the sections below could appear on your resume for college applications. Pick an assortment that works for you!

Heading with your name, address, and e-mail

High school information with your graduation date, GPA (weighted), class rank, and SAT/ACT scores

Academic awards, publications, honors, and other achievements

Coursework (summer programs, college courses, or other specialized workshops that do not appear on your high school transcript)

Extracurricular activities

Community service

Work experience

Hobbies

Special skills (e.g. foreign language fluency or HTML expertise)

When should you submit a resume to colleges?

Some colleges and scholarship committees request or recommend that you include a high school resume with your application materials. (But don't submit a resume if they don't ask for one-following instructions is a key application strategy.) Bring your resume to college interviews and give copies to your college counselor and teachers so that they can write you the strongest possible recommendation letter.

Tips for Composing Your College Admissions Resume

1. Keep it concise.

Pare down the activities you showcase to the most brag-worthy and most representative of you as a candidate. Do colleges need to know that you were on the field hockey team for one semester in Grade 9? Probably not. The standard rule of thumb is to stick to one or two pages.

2. Focus on depth and length of commitment.

When deciding which activities and accomplishments make the cut, keep in mind that colleges would much rather see you excited about one or two key experiences than sporadic involvement in 20 clubs. If having an after-school job limited your ability to participate in clubs or sports, make sure your resume plays up your work responsibilities, training, and on-the-job skills.

3. Provide detail whenever possible.

The details are what set a resume apart from a list of extracurriculars on a standard college application. For example, when describing your involvement in the French Club make sure to include:

your role

school years/hours per week you participated

specific contributions (e.g. "Organized a successful after-school film series to introduce our community to French cinema and culture" )

leadership roles (e.g. "Treasurer, Grade 12" )

unique details that will make you stand out

4. Highlight things you weren't able to write about in your college essays or short answers.

Use your high school resume to show colleges something new. If your devotion to photography didn't make it on the application but is a big part of who you are, then showcase your photography cred on your resume.

5. Formatting is key.

Make your resume easy to scan. Divide information into sections with clear headings, bulleted lists, and a consistent font. Use a system of organization that works for you. (Chronological, by importance of activity, or by time commitment are a few options.) Don't forget to proofread !

6. Be honest and accurate.

Colleges know how to spot inconsistencies in your application materials, and they won't hesitate to call your counselor to verify information that doesn't seem right. So don't tell them that you have practice for the school play for 30 hours per week-unless drama club is somehow your full-time job!

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible to apply to MITES Summer, applicants must be:

U.S. citizens or permanent residents

High school juniors

What you'll learn

A semester of college condensed into one invigorating summer, the MITES Summer program includes high-level math and science, as well as electives that focus on real-world STEM applications-from Machine Learning to Architecture to Genomics-what most high school curricula don't cover. You'll learn about the impact of STEM on society and how to use your knowledge to build a better world.

You'll discover firsthand what it's like to be a student at MIT, and gain insight into how to apply to colleges, all while laying the groundwork for you to thrive in STEM professions.

The details

Six weeks over the summer-late June through early August

Classes, recitations, workshops, and tours on weekdays 9:00am to 5:00pm

Social events, office hours/homework, and exploration of the Greater Boston area on evenings and weekends

Room and board provided free of charge

One more advantage: At the culmination of the program, each student receives a written evaluation from their instructor, outlining strengths and growth areas, as well as highlighting the student's contributions to the class. Many students choose to submit this as supplemental material with their college applications.

How to apply

MITES Summer and MITES Semester share the same eligibility requirements and application. And, you can choose to be considered for one or both programs. Eligible students can apply online during the fall semester of their junior year in high school.

Apply to MITES Summer and MITES Semester

Selection criteria
Students selected for MITES Summer generally have the following qualities:

Passion for science, technology, engineering, and math-demonstrated through extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation

Strong academic record

We strongly encourage students from the following backgrounds to apply:

Underrepresented in science and engineering, identifying as African American/Black; Hispanic/Latinx; Native American or Alaska Native; and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander

Underserved, defined as coming from low socioeconomic means, which may be indicated by qualification for free/reduced lunch

Potentially the first family member to attend college

From families with an absence of science and engineering degrees

From high schools with low admittance rates to top-tier colleges, especially rural or predominantly minority high schools

All applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will be considered, regardless of race or ethnicity.

MITES has allowed me to grow as a scientist, an engineer, a Black woman, and an advocate for my community.

Being among so many other students of color who take pride in their ambition has inspired me to be unapologetic in pursuing my own ambitions and has also pushed me to aim higher. Seeing how other students here believe in and invest in their communities and their identities has prompted me even more to go farther than I already have to make space for other Black girls in environments like these."

Linda Denson

MITES '18, New Orleans, LA

Courses

Students take one math course, one life sciences course, one physics course, a humanities course, and one project-based elective course. Scholars are placed into the math, life sciences, and physics courses based on a knowledge inventory taken during the orientation period of the program.
Past elective courses have included:

Architecture

Engineering Design

Machine Learning

Genomics

Electronics

Sample schedule for MITES Summer scholars

Students find this program to be more challenging than high school. You can plan to spend roughly seven hours per weekday (9a-5p with a break for lunch) in classes and other planned activities. Students have reported spending an average of 6 hours per weekday and 4-6 hours per weekend day doing homework. You will have midterms (Week 3) and finals (Week 6) as well as final projects and presentations (Week 5 and Week 6).

Who is a High School Student?

Who Can Apply

By policy set by the Summer School Administrative Board, only honor roll students who have completed their junior year of high school may apply to Summer School as visiting students. By policy set by the Summer School Administrative Board, international high school students cannot be considered for admission. Rising high school seniors are not eligible to audit courses at UNC.

What is Needed

In addition to completing the online application, the following are required for high school students:

1. An up-to-date transcript,

2. A personal statement to the Dean of Summer School stating the purpose for taking the specific course(s) that you identify by number and name, the reason for taking the course(s) at UNC-Chapel Hill rather than elsewhere, and the future expectation for enhanced educational opportunity that would result,

3. A letter of recommendation from the most appropriate teacher or principal, headmaster, or counselor confirming your preparation and ability to take this particular course(s), and

4. A statement that you will be living with parents or legal guardians while you are attending Summer School (rising high school seniors over 16 years of age are exempt from this requirement).

** All required documents MUST be submitted by application deadline**

Transcripts

Attending Summer School at UNC-Chapel Hill might not affect your chances for admission at the college of your choice, but you will experience college life firsthand and be exposed to the level of performance and competition expected in college courses. Be aware that UNC-Chapel Hill offers no courses specifically for high school students. The grades and credit hours that you earn are recorded on a UNC-Chapel Hill transcript and become part of your permanent UNC-Chapel Hill record.

Eligibility

High school students who are admitted and enrolled in a course will receive course credit and create a UNC-Chapel Hill transcript. All course work carries degree credit and becomes a permanent record at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Students who do not earn at least a C in a course are in jeopardy of being ineligible to return as a visiting or nondegree-seeking students at UNC-Chapel Hill. UNC-Chapel Hill requires that even nondegree-seeking students maintain an acceptable GPA to continue to enroll. The information about eligibility can be found at the bottom of the page at https://studentsuccess.unc.edu/good-standing/.

College Campus and Safety

High school students who enroll in and attend Summer School courses will be on a college campus where they will interact with many other individuals as part of coursework and related activities. Part of those interactions will be in class, labs or other situations. As part of coming to a large university, high school students (and perhaps their parents) should have conversations about keeping safe while on campus. Information to promote those conversations can be found at http://safe.unc.edu/. Students should always discuss any issues with parents/guardians and/or the Dean of Summer School. If an incident does occur, go to http://safe.unc.edu/ for reporting options.

Course Load

The maximum course load allowed for high school students cannot exceed more than 4 credit hours in Maymester/First Session or more than 4 credit hours in Second Session.

Courses at UNC-Chapel Hill can be one of five modes of instruction. The modes are as follows:

In-person Modes of Instruction

In-person, On-campus Learners

In-person, On-campus and Remote Learners

Remote Modes of Instruction

Synchronous Remote

Mostly Asynchronous Remote

Fully Asynchronous Remote

More information about what each mode entails can be found on the Carolina Together website. Please check on Coursicle to ensure that the courses you are interested in taking have modes that are compatible to your schedule and location.

Class Attendance

Regular class attendance is a student obligation. Students are responsible for all of their work, including assessments, tests, and written work, and for all class meetings. If a course instructor chooses to take attendance and sees that a student misses three or more consecutive class meetings or misses more classes than the course instructor thinks advisable, the instructor may report the facts to the student's advisor and/or academic dean.

No right or privilege exists that permits a student to be absent from any class meetings, except for these University Approved Absences:

Instructors may work with students to meet attendance needs that do not fall within University approved absences. For situations when an absence is not University approved (e.g., a job interview or club activity), instructors determine their own approach to missed classes and make-up assessments and assignments.

The University's policy regarding University approved absences as well as the instructor's course-level policies are communicated to students via the instructor's course syllabus on the first day of class.

This information and more can be found on the University Approved Absence Office website.

Summer learning programs are crucial to ensuring that children are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in school, and beyond. New Haven students are welcomed to Yale's campus for a diverse array of academic and enrichment programming during the summer months. The Ulysses S. Grant Program draws from the experience and enthusiasm of Yale undergraduates to challenge New Haven middle school students to acquire the academic support and skills they need to excel in school and prepare for college. Local high school students can also take Yale courses through the Shafer Scholars program, hone their musical talents at the Morse Summer Music Academy, work in laboratories alongside Yale Scientists at the Pathways Summer Scholar program, and much more.

Lyceum Scholars Program

Open to incoming freshmen, the Lyceum Scholars Program is the first college program in the US to use a Great Books approach to studying liberty, capitalism, the American Founding, and moral character.

All Lyceum Scholars are assigned faculty "Socratic Tutors" who guide their intellectual development for their entire four-year education.

Those interested in becoming Lyceum Scholars should apply in their senior year of high school to Clemson University and to the Lyceum Scholars Program. The Lyceum Scholars Program is currently accepting applications from students who will be entering Clemson University in Fall 2021. The priority application deadline for the Lyceum Scholars Program is December 11, 2020.

Current Clemson students please visit our Lyceum Fellows page.

Lyceum Scholarship

All Lyceum Scholars receive a $10,000 scholarship, which is disbursed over their four years at Clemson University.

In exchange for this scholarship, students in the program take a sequence of eight courses with the other Lyceum Scholars in their entering class.

The Lyceum Difference

The Lyceum Scholars Program draws inspiration from the Lyceum School founded by Aristotle in ancient Greece.

Lyceum Scholars study the moral principles of a free society, the political ideals of the American Founding and the economic foundations of capitalism.
Emphasis on Moral Character
We believe there is a connection between moral character and a free society.

At the end of this unique course of study, students will graduate with a robust training in the intellectual skills of being serious and honest thinkers, articulate speakers and eloquent writers. Additionally, students will be thoroughly familiar with the essential ideas that form the foundation of free institutions, thus preparing them to move into careers in law, academia, policymaking business.
Socratic Tutors
As a close-knit learning community, the Lyceum Scholars program helps students form lifelong friendships with others who share their interests.

Each Lyceum Scholar is assigned their own 'Socratic Tutor' (a member of the Lyceum faculty), who mentors their intellectual and character development while at Clemson.

This mentorship helps students to connect theory (i.e., the ideas they learn in class) with real-life practice and to develop their own sense of moral character.

The Lyceum Curriculum

All Lyceum Scholars take a sequence of eight classes - one per semester - together as an intellectual cohort. The program is open to students of any major, but students who complete this course of study fulfill the requirements for a minor in Political Science ("Political and Legal Theory"), and six of the eight courses count towards the Political Science major at Clemson.

American Political Thought
American political philosophy from the 17 th century to the present with emphasis on political and social developments since the 1770's. Watch the overview video.
