Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Opens National Graduate Scholarship Competition

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is now accepting nominations for its Graduate Scholarship Program, one of the largest and most competitive scholarship programs in the country. College seniors at more than 2,000 accredited institutions in America, and alumni who have graduated from these institutions since spring 2003, may compete for the scholarships, which can total as much as $300,000 (up to $50,000 per year for up to six years).

The Foundation will award the graduate scholarships in early summer 2008 for use during the 2008-2009 academic year, and will renew each award in subsequent years based on performance. Last year, the Foundation awarded 34 of these scholarships. A panel of national experts will assist the Foundation in selecting scholars. Candidates for the scholarship must be nominated by the faculty representative at their undergraduate institution. The list of faculty representatives and application materials are available on the Foundation's website, www.jackkentcookefoundation.org, or by calling 1-800-498-6478.

The DSU faculty representative is:

Dr. Omar El-Gayar
Dean of Graduate Studies and Research
Heston Hall Room 309
