org/ College Planning Timeline: https://bigfuture. collegeboard. org/get-in/applying-101/timeline-12-grade Recommendations are critical to the success of the Jack Maddox Distinguished Scholarship Program.
In a merit-based scholarship program, where student performance in the classroom and on standardized tests can be indistinguishable from one student to the next, the scholarship selection committee relies on teachers and family friends to paint a complete picture of a student.
Teacher recommendations provide the committee with insight into how a student performs in an academic class setting, while a family friend can provide insight into how a student has conducted his or her life outside of the classroom.
These insights are crucial to the selection process, which is why the scholarship program requires the teacher recommendations to come from a teacher who has taught the student in an academic course (English, history, math, or science), and the family friend recommendation to come from an adult who has known the student for at least five years.
The recommendation process is a confidential one, meaning that all recommendations go directly to the selection committee and are not shared with the student. We hope that this process allows you to be candid with the committee about the student, inside and outside of the classroom. We are incredibly grateful to you for taking the time every year to provide a valuable service to the scholarship selection process.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
