NOMINATING STUDENTS FOR TASS

Eligibility: Current high school SOPHOMORES (2007-08)

Due date for Nominations: November 27, 2007

Information for Educators

     Educators are invited to nominate high school SOPHOMORES who are interested in African American studies and other fields to apply for a full scholarship to a Telluride Association Sophomore Seminar.
     We are looking for bright, highly motivated students who would find it exciting to be with a similar group of students from around the country to engage in intellectual conversation, academic challenges, and group living.
     The scholarship is very competitive, but once selected all costs except travel are covered (and travel can be covered if there is a need).  We also offer stipends of up to $500 to replace summer work earnings for students who would otherwise be unable to attend a summer program.  It is the policy of Telluride Association that no student be barred from attending a summer program for financial reasons.
     Teachers, counselors, and other educators may nominate up to ten current sophomores for the TASS programs.  Please download a TASS Nomination Form; you will need to provide the nominee's name and home or school address.  Return the form to us by fax, mail, or email.  Refer to the TASS Time Line for information about current year due dates.  If you have any questions, contact the Administrative Director at (607) 273-5011 or telluride@cornell.edu.
