MERF SCHOLARSHIPS

Mensa Education and Research Foundation conducts an annual scholarship contest.  Eligible persons are those who plan to enter an institution of higher  education (college) in the Fall of 2001.  U.S. or nationalized citizens.  What to do?  Easy.  Write a paper.  Length, 550 words or less.

There are some other easy qualifications, but the important thing is that  this competition is open to (almost) all.  No SATs.  No GPAs.  No transcripts, No recommendations.  No rich kid, poor kid.  Only one thing.  An anonymous essay, "What I Want to Be, and Why."  Scholarships range from $200 to $10,000.  All essays are entered into the local NTM Scholarship Foundation, which awards additional scholarships.

The official call for papers will go to area high school guidance counselors  in October, 2000.  If you, or one of your darlings, would like an application  contact me at the following:
