Are you an graphic designer and t-shirt aficionado?  Do you dream of one day having people across the world wearing something you created?  Maybe you just really liked the screenprinting unit in high school art class.  If you’ve ever seen someone wearing a cool t-shirt and thought to yourself, “I could make something like that,” this week’s Scholarship of the Week is for you.

The Threadless Scholarship gives college students a chance to not only see their t-shirt designs printed and distributed internationally, but to also win a $3,000 design scholarship.  The best part?  Winners are chosen weekly, so you have multiple chances at winning scholarships.

Prize:

A $3,000 college scholarship plus a $500 Threadless gift certificate (or $200 in cash) and the chance to compete for other cash awards of up to $20,000.

Eligibility:

Any undergraduate or graduate student currently enrolled at least part-time or pending enrollment in a college or university.  This scholarship contest is open to students in the United States and other countries, regardless of major, GPA, or test scores.

Healthcare is constantly growing and changing in many ways, making it one of the most interesting fields to enter as a career.  Even people who don’t plan to devote their lives to health professions often find themselves following medical advances with interest.  A major step in the evolution of healthcare in coming years will be the adoption of medical software that will allow for more universal recordkeeping and hopefully better patient care. This week’s Scholarship of the Week gives current college students an opportunity to research this topic in depth for the chance to win $2,500.

To encourage college students in all disciplines to think and write about this topic, Claricode is sponsoring a scholarship essay contest asking students to discuss the potential of medical software in essays of 500 to 1,000 words.  Essays will be judged on the following criteria: idea development, clarity of vision, creativity, practicality, and spelling and grammar.

Prize:

• First place: $2,500
• Second place: $1,500
• Third place: $1,000

Eligibility:

Any U.S. citizen or resident age 18 and up who is currently enrolled full-time in an accredited degree program and will remain enrolled full-time when the scholarship is awarded in January 2010. Applications are welcome from students in all areas of study.
