i just got this in my inbox:

Congratulations!

You have achieved an outstanding academic record at VCU and are eligible to make application for a student scholarship to be awarded to junior level students through the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi in recognition of outstanding scholastic performance. The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the only University honor society recognizing scholastic excellence in all fields of study.

Two $1,000.00 undergraduate student scholarships for continuing study at VCU will be awarded in spring semester, 2006, by the College of Humanities and Sciences. From the two students chosen, the College will nominate one candidate for a $2,500.00 University Wayne C. Hall Scholarship to be awarded for 2006-2007 to pursue undergraduate studies at VCU. To be eligible for either award, you must plan to be enrolled in at least twelve credits in the Fall, 2006, semester, and at least twelve credits in the Spring, 2007, semester. The application is available at:
http://www.vcu.edu/phikappaphi/scholars/students.html

There is also a National Phi Kappa Phi Graduate Fellowship award for a graduating senior who will be attending graduate school; we will submit one nominee for consideration by our chapter from the College of Humanities and Sciences. Each Phi Kappa Phi Chapter will then nominate only one student from its pool of applicants for this national award. VCU’s nominee will automatically receive the $2,500 Lauren A. Woods Scholarship. The application is available at: http://www.phikappaphi.org/gradfellow.shtml. You may type information directly onto the Graduate Fellowship form and then print the form. The form can be saved with Adobe Acrobat 4.0 or 5.0. Obtaining the application form (with instructions) by early January is strongly encouraged.

Please read the enclosed information, give the recommendation forms to two faculty members of your choice, and return your essay and resume by 10 A.M., Wednesday, January 25, 2006, to Ms. Heather H. Williamson, Phi Kappa Phi Scholarship Selection Committee, College of Humanities and Sciences, 701 W. Grace Street #1511. Don't forget to make certain that your faculty recommendations have been forwarded to me by that date also.

It is your responsibility to make certain that two letters of recommendation arrive in 701 W. Grace St. #1511 by 10 A.M., Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Applications with less than two letters will be disqualified and not considered. In addition, you must notify me (hhwillia@vcu.edu) of your intention to apply for this scholarship by Wednesday, January 18, 2006.

Sincerely yours,

Heather H. Williamson
Director of PRISM and Special Projects



what the hell is wrong with this school? do they just have a database of 'at least a junior and not yet graduated with a gpa of 3.8 or whatever the standards are these days?'

i'm tempted to apply for it, like i've done for the past 4 years, and not win it, like i've done for the past 4 years. but i don't think i'm up for it.

though it would be fun to write the essay: why i withdrew from all my classes during my last semester to follow bauhaus and refinish furniture.

maybe then they'll give me money. because i'm well rounded. and not just in my tits. i'm well-versed, well-traveled. i'm the modern renaissance woman. which is really a scary thought, when you come to think of it.

well, someone's got to be it. and i don't see any of those honor students stepping up to the plate.
