1. Three winners from the essay competition
2. Two winners from the photo competition
3. One winner from our “My Top Ten” survey (http://www.imuse2008.org/survey.php)

Ten runners-up for each competition will each receive a limited-edition 2008 Beijing Olympics collectible.
Select entries will be published on the IMUSE website with permission of their authors.

The deadline for all three contests is April 15th, 2008.

Students enrolled in all North American postsecondary (two-year, vocational, undergraduate, graduate, professional, etc.) educational institutions are eligible to enter. Submission is electronic, and there is no fee to apply.

The Southerland Aggie Leader Scholarship program was created to
recognize and reward student involvement at Texas A&M University.
Student leaders are dedicated to Texas A&M and are an important element
in the success of our campus. Unlike most scholarships, the primary
criteria in the decision process will be leadership and involvement.
This scholarship reflects Texas A&M University’s commitment to
learning, leadership, and service both in and out of the classroom.

“I cannot express enough how much of a help it is to support college
students like me with the help of the J. Southerland Aggie Leader
Scholarship. The financial support has allowed me to devote my time to
my schoolwork and extracurricular activities instead of working long
hours at minimum wage to pay my tuition. Knowing that I have the
support of my university family is very encouraging,” states Blayne
Thompson, 2007 recipient.

These scholarships are limited to undergraduate, graduate, and
professional students who will have completed one long semester at
Texas A & M at the time of application. Each recipient will receive up
to $1,000 for the 2008-2009 academic year. Students can apply online at
http://scholarships.tamu.edu.
