America In Solidarity is offering scholarships to high school seniors and current college students to students who have demonstrated an active participation in making the world better for working families. Ideal candidates must have spent time volunteering or working in the areas of social justice, progressive politics, and/or the right to organize. Preference will be given to individuals who worked for organizations like America In Solidarity or directly on campaigns of progressive candidates. Our intention with this scholarship is to help future progressive leaders continue with their extra-curricular service by enabling them to help pay for college. The scholarship is open to all residents of the United States attending an accredited college or university in the United States.

To apply, send us the following:

• An essay explaining your service and how you have made a difference
• A resume detailing your service, school activities, major, college (or prospective colleges) and other important details like email, phone number and contact address.
  

Applications must be received by May 1, 2009 at our office at 3049 S. 36th St #205, Tacoma, WA 98409. We would prefer you include the contents in an 8.5 x 11 envelope.
