Start Something Target Stores and the Tiger Woods Foundation Restructure "Start Something" Scholarship Program for Young People. Deadline: Various Start Something is a program that helps young people pursue their dreams and goals and encourages youth leadership and community stewardship. The program is designed to help students identify their goals and choose and prepare for an Action Project based on one of those goals. Students then evaluate their efforts and prepare and give a presentation about their project to family and friends. The program is set up as a series of ten two-hour sessions designed to be completed over ten weeks, but it can also be done in a few weeks or several months. Young people between the ages of 8 and 17 can participate in the program in two ways: as part of a group of students under the guidance of a teacher or group leader, or on their own through the program's Web site. Participating youth who complete the program can apply for a Start Something scholarship ranging from $100 to $5,000 that can be used to help winners continue to pursue their goals. Examples include music lessons, sports camps, special educational programs, travel, and the purchase of equipment. The scholarship program is available to young people in the United States (not including territories and affiliated jurisdictions). Scholarships are awarded three times a year, with applications due May 1, September 1, and January 1. Over the course of the year, the program will award scholarships totaling $300,000. For complete program and scholarship information, see the Start Something Web site. |
