Reminder: JREF scholarships deadline approaches

Are you a student (undergrad or grad) who is doing research that aligns with skeptical goals? Then the JREF wants to send you money.

Every year, the James Randi Educational Foundation gives away $10,000 total divided into four academic scholarships to deserving students. You can learn all you need to know on the JREF scholarship page. Applications are accepted from students both domestic and foreign, and the field of study is not limited either as long as it aligns with the criteria listed on that page.

The deadline for application is August 1, so get cracking!

I didn’t know that existed. I’ll have to apply for this once I transfer to “real” university, and not just community college.

Does that include a recent high school graduate who wants to attend college?

"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
