NABE Foundation Invites Applications for Americans for the Arts College Scholarships The NABE Foundation, the charitable arm of the National Association for Business Economics, believes that good economic strategy is dependent on our ability to develop out-of-the box solutions to the challenges that confront us. To that end, the foundation hopes to enable those with "the gift of creative problem solving" to further the profession of economics through their unique understanding of the world. The foundation is inviting applications for its sixth annual Americans for the Arts College Scholarship Award program to encourage the integration of the arts into the economic education process. The amount of the award is $5,000. To be eligible, applicants must come from an economically disadvantaged household; have attended a public school; participated in extracurricular programs, including (and/or in addition to) programs supported by Americans for the Arts (i.e., demonstrate a long-term participation in the study of, creation of, and/or performance in one or more of the following art forms — dance, music, theater, literary, and visual/media arts); excelled academically; and formally declared the intent to study and apply economics in their pursuit of higher education and a professional career. This includes the direct study of economics for policy purposes. The scholarship is open to both recent high school graduates and current college undergraduates who are majoring in economics and/or the arts. Students who have not graduated high school but have matriculated into an undergraduate program, graduate students, and Ph.D. candidates are not eligible. See the NABE Foundation Web site for complete program guidelines and application procedures.
