IT Scholarship Opportunities

1) The Circuit For College Bound IT Students - The purpose of The Circuit’s scholarships are to assist local students in furthering their IT education at a local college / university. A committee will make a selection from applications received by December 31, 2009. The awardees will be announced in early 2010 and the scholarships (as determined by the committee) will be distributed through the college Financial Aid office for classes beginning in Fall 2010.

2) 2010 NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing - Sponsored by Bank of America, the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing recognizes young women at the high-school level for their computing-related achievements and interests. By generating visibility for these young women in their local communities, the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing encourages their continued interest in computing, attracts the attention and support of educational and corporate institutions, and emphasizes at a personal level the importance of women's participation.

All US high school young women (grades 9-12) are invited to apply. Complete information on the award is available at http://www.ncwit.org/award

Unreceived Animations

As suspected, our ISP was blocking e-mails from the Aniboom service as possible spam. They have now been whitelisted and the 40 or so e-mails that were built up have come flooding through.

Update Friday - All "pool shot" animations have been reviewed and posted on both Google Docs and Edline.

Please check Edline to make sure your grades are correct and if you are missing any assignments.
