‘It’s Never Too Late’: 85-year-old Florida Woman Graduates From College

Image
  In an effort to inspire and advise others, a Florida woman who pursued her dream of earning a college degree now shares her experience. Arlyne Frankel, 85, retired at the age of 79 after working her entire life. She served as a marketing and fund-raising consultant for PBS. As a divorced woman, alone with children and grandchildren, she decided to fulfill her life’s purpose. My initial goal was to work until the day I died, so I considered taking on another position. At least, that’s what I believed. I decided not to return to my job after some reflection. I thought I would live to the end. What will I be doing? Her message to “GMA3” was, “I want to achieve my goals.” At first, she dreamed of having her Bat Mitzvah, a Jewish coming-of-age celebration celebrated around a child’s thirteenth birthday. As a child, she always wanted one, but could not have one. During her Bat Mitzvah, Frankel told the audience she intended to finish college. At the age of 18, Frankel enrolled in Bosto...

Scholarship for students breaking the mold

Image
A person breaking the mold is a person that is breaking with his or her social heritage and is following another pattern than what would be expected. Thus it is a person not following the linear pattern of his or her background. For instance it could be a person who breaks free from a stressful childhood and creates a better life for him- or herself. Another example could be a person choosing to follow a totally different path compared to the rest of that person’s family. Thus, it can be any person breaking through any given limitations or set social patterns. We at Lånio.dk want to support and encourage young people to have unbridled ambition. We want to honor tenacity, purposefulness, and a strong belief in the future. We are happy to announce our scholarship of 5,000 DKK to support a dedicated nordic student that is breaking the mold.

5 Musts to Apply for African American Scholarships

Image
5 Musts to Apply for African American Scholarships Students belonging to minority groups are less likely to attend college in the US and other “white” countries than their “majority” peers. They are also more likely to drop out. Rising costs of education are one of the biggest reasons for such drop-outs. Some of the brightest African-Americans I’ve known are first-generation college students who had to drop out in the middle of their program because they couldn’t afford college anymore. There’s also another aspect that many of us don’t talk about. FinAid reports that minority students are less likely to win a private scholarship or win a merit-based scholarship. They may also take on twice as much debt as their white peers despite special minority programs. Such a lack of equal access means that as an African-American student you’ll have to work extra hard to get the program you need. Having said that, college authorities and philanthropic organizations offer scholarships to m...
