We are pleased to announce the official launching of the pilot phase of the
Nationally Competitive Scholarships/Fellowships Program (NCSF).
The Through the Looking Glass Competition is designed to identify students who demonstrate an interest in improving their skills in Thinking, Writing, and Speaking at a high level of discourse that will allow them to compete successfully with students at other notable institutions for coveted scholarships and fellowships.

The first application engagements will begin in the Fall 2014.
Training will begin this semester and through the summer, as students look at
The Fulbright Scholarship Program, The Luard Scholarship Program, The Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Program, The UNCF Mellon Mays Scholarship Program (funding through the Ph.D. degree), The Barry Goldwater Scholarship, The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Program, and
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship Program, among others.

If you know students with potential and interest, please encourage them to
participate in this pilot competition (for monetary prizes).
