To examine these potential outcomes, I’ve synthesized several studies of Georgia’s Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) program. Additionally, I sought to compare the RSTC with other similar programs at UNL’s peer Big Ten institutions. To accomplish this, I compiled and analyzed public information on merit-based programs at the 14 Big Ten schools from their university websites.

  • Stamps-Brochure-Spring-2018.Pdf
    2017 2018 Letter from the Executive Board Over this past year, the Purdue Stamps community has grown to 31 scholars, adding sev- en freshmen to the mix. Kicking off the school year with many dinners and informal gatherings, the Purdue Stamps community has become more close-knit. The idea of individual “Stamps Fam- ilies,” a mentoring program which began last year, has blossomed. The families consist of schol- ars from each academic class, and families meet amongst themselves outside of regularly sched- uled Stamps gatherings. The implementation of Stamps Families has no doubt fostered close re- lationships among all of Purdue’s Stamps Scholars. Many scholars have utilized their enrichment funds to travel abroad and to attend confer- ences this year as well. Purdue’s Honors College continues to grow and thrive within its nearly two-year-old building full of collaborative learning spaces and amenities. Looking forward, we hope to continue to build the Stamps Scholars community at Purdue. We wish the best of luck to all of the graduating Purdue Stamps Scholars and look forward to welcoming new freshmen this coming fall. Lastly, we would like to thank Dr. and Mrs. Stamps for their generosity in giving us many of the opportunities you will read about in the coming pag- es.

  • 81 Universities with Full-Ride Scholarships from Prepscholar, Sept
    81 Universities with Full-Ride Scholarships From PrepScholar, Sept. 2020 You've worked hard all throughout high school and are an academic and extracurricular superstar. You're looking forward to the challenges that college will bring. But are you ready for the challenge of paying for college? There are a lot of ways students come up with the money to fund their higher educations. Did you know, though, that it can be as easy as getting one award? In this article, we give you a list of 81 colleges that offer at least one full-ride scholarship to cover all of your tuition costs. What Is a Full-Ride Scholarship? Getting a scholarship that fully covers tuition costs is most students' dream. It's hard to believe there's something even better out there—the full-ride scholarship. These scholarships are special because they cover not only tuition but also other basic costs such as room and board, books, travel, and supplies. For most private schools, this means you're getting more than $200,000 of expenses covered with these scholarships. Unlike financial aid, which many schools offer to students based on what they and their families can afford to pay for their educations, these scholarships are based entirely on merit. The idea is that these schools think certain students are special—so special that they want it to be a no-brainer for you to choose to attend their school. As a result, they're going to try their hardest to make you want to partner with them for the next four years.

  • Purdue Stamps Scholars 2016 2017
    PURDUE STAMPS SCHOLARS 2016 2017 FORGE THE FUTURE LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE BOARD Over the past year the Purdue Stamps community has grown to 28 scholars, adding six fresh- men and two juniors as walk-on scholars. In October we hosted our very first conference for Stamps Scholars from around the country. About 50 scholars attended “Igniting Curiosity: A Stamps Symposium”, many of them freshmen for whom this was their first formal experience with the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation. This also provided an opportunity for scholars to meet and get to know each other prior to attending the Stamps Scholar National Conven- tion in April. Additionally, we participated in the first Stamps National Day of Service and had many formal and informal gatherings. Many scholars have utilized their enrichment funds to travel abroad and to attend conferences this year as well. At Purdue as a whole, the Honors College has now moved into its own building, Honors Col- lege and Residences. In addition to being home to over 800 honors students, the building in- cludes numerous collaborative learning spaces and amenities such as Cosi Café. Honors classes and faculty offices are also housed in the Honors College and Residences (HCR). We were able to utilize the classrooms of HCR as well as Honors Hall during our conference. Looking forward, we hope to continue to build the Stamps Scholars community at Purdue. We are beginning a mentoring program to foster closer relationships among our scholars as our group continues to grow. The idea is for each “Stamps Family” to be comprised of one person from each academic class and for them to meet amongst themselves and with other families outside of regularly scheduled Stamps gatherings.
