Cherokee Nation Tribal Councilwoman, Cara Cowan Watts, in partnership with Bartlesville Schools Indian Education and the Delaware Tribe of Indians is presenting on “How to Find and Apply for Scholarships Outside of the Cherokee Nation.”

On Tuesday, October 22, 2013 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Delaware Tribe Community Room, 170 NE Barbara, Bartlesville, Cowan Watts will present detailed actions for students entering college and currently in college on how to find and apply for scholarships.

Cowan Watts will provide information for K-12 students on classes to take in 8th through 12th grade to prepare for college and scholarships, social media best practices for any age student and building your resume for success in college such as choosing a career path. Social media best practices are applicable to all ages. Younger students (4th through 12th) and their families are encouraged to attend. Cowan Watts will provide tips for finding scholarships and tools for improving your applications as well as managing your applications to ensure success. Presentation applies to younger students, college students, graduate students, teachers, mentors and student coaches.

For a copy of handouts and on-going scholarship opportunities via an email listserv for the Oklahoma Professional Chapter of American Indian Science and Engineering Society (OPC AISES), email Cara Cowan Watts at cara@caracowan.com.

Public is welcome. Topics are focused on Cherokee Nation citizens, but most information applies to all students and especially minority students.

Learn more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers throughout the presentation for increased employment opportunities and to earn more money over your lifetime.

The event is free and open to the public. Families and their students as young as 4th grade are encouraged to attend as your Senior year is often too late to make key decisions on college prep curriculum in High School, testing strategies for the ACT and SAT tests, recommendation letter network and resume building. If you are in college or an adult hoping to return to college or even attend graduate school, much of the presentation will still apply to your preparation for finding and applying for scholarships.

For more information on-going scholarship, full-time jobs/career, summer camps, summer internships, research fellowships and other opportunities, email Cara at cara@caracowan.com. Ask to be added to the Oklahoma Professional Chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (OPC AISES) listserv. Facebook messages are not accepted.
