Since the 90s, the Rotary Club of Pascagoula has awarded thousands of dollars to students who attend Pascagoula High or Resurrection Catholic School. They hope to keep college graduates in Mississippi and on the Coast.

Name after name was called Wednesday afternoon as students from Pascagoula were awarded a record breaking $42,000 in scholarships.

The Rotary Club of Pascagoula presented the scholarships to 44 students who plan to stay in Mississippi once they complete their higher education. Jessica McNeel with the Rotary Club of Pascagoula said, "If they express an interest in wanting to return to Mississippi and particularly the Coast, those are the students we want to track, want to follow, want to continue to support."

One of those students who want to return to the Coast after college is recent Pascagoula High graduate Morgan Walley, dreaming big with hopes of becoming Pascagoula's first black woman to open a physical therapy clinic in town. "I've always wanted to go into the medical field whether it was with animals or people. I just like helping."

Walley tells News 25 her dream of becoming a physical therapist is about much more than just helping her future patients. "It would show people, it would show younger girls you can do it if you want to."

Walley's inspiration for dreaming big and chasing dreams is her mother, Lakeisha Allen. "Being a black woman is a beautiful thing. The fact that she aspires to open up her own practice and it will show other females that 'hey, I'm a woman, I'm black, and I can do this. There is nothing stopping me from pursuing my goals and making that come true.'"

With this year's record-breaking $42,000 in scholarship money, $10,000 was donated by the Bacot McCarty Foundation and the best part of the scholarship program is that it can last throughout their college career. "Particularly with students who maintain their GPAs that we can renew every year. We can make a significant dent in the debt they will be left with once they graduate if we continue to follow them throughout their college careers."

A teenage Muslim Grade 12 female student has won a $100,000 Schulich Leader Scholarship to study Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Windsor Star reported.

"I think I had a moment of calm after reading the email. It's not about the money, it's more of an opportunity to put myself out there and impacting other students," Shahed Saleh, a student at Vincent Massey Secondary School in Ontario, Canada, said.

"It's basically robotics engineering. It's controlling machines with computers. I think robots are amazing," explained the 18-year-old student who carries a 97% average in her Grade 12 courses.

Saleh knew at a young age that she wanted to pursue engineering but it wasn't until joining the robotics team in Grade 10 that she found which vein. "I'm excited to be part of the change in society once robots are implemented everywhere," she said.

In light of her dream, the Muslim girl became the captain of the school's FIRST Robotics team, a mentor for FIRST Lego League elementary school teams and a co-founder of STEM Day and CodeReach for elementary students.

Talking about his student who seeks making a big impact in the world, Massey guidance counsellor, Matt Cornies, said he "has no doubt she's going to make a substantial impact on others. It's going to be exponential".

Interestingly, Saleh is the first student in the Greater Essex County District School Board to earn a $100,000 Schulich scholarship.

Saleh's field of interest is mechatronics which is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the engineering of both electrical and mechanical systems, and also includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer, telecommunications, systems, control, and product engineering.

Many people treat mechatronics as a modern buzzword synonymous with robotics and electromechanical engineering. Schulich Leader Scholarships award 25 students annually across Canada $100,000 to study engineering at one of 20 partner schools. It also awards another 25 students an $80,000 scholarship to study science or math.

The program's website says 300,000 plus high school students will graduate in 2019 and from that pool, 1,500 nominees were pared down to 50 winners. One of the important components of the award is the chance to mentor under a previous Schulich Leader winner.

The scholarship program was established in 2012 by the Jewish Canadian businessman and philanthropist Seymour Schulich "to encourage the best and brightest students to be the next entrepreneurial-minded pioneers of science and technology innovation", according to its official website.

As someone who is still a newbie in open source world, I often feel intimidated. At first, I don't even sure whether to contribute to open source world or not. Though I've been involved in several community on my home country, Indonesia, this kind of feelings doesn't dissipate easily (previously I've been active in Docker and Kubernetes community). Whenever I want to start contributing, I just feel like, well they must be really smart, and I'm still noobs. Then several things happened and someone told me that: well I'll be disappointed if you keep getting stuck inside your own mind, forever undecided. Then I gather my courage to start looking at something that may be can be done. I began to look at the design docs, various SIGs, and I even tried to look at how the biweekly meeting look like.

Someday my friend asked me to help him initiating localization for Kubernetes' documentation in Bahasa Indonesia. I've been looking at this project as well, with the help of a fellow contributor from 🇫🇷 , I begin initiating this project with this friend of mine. I made several mistakes as well, and the response from the reviewer is actually beyond my expectation, they're really nice.. and I got many help as well... To be honest I'm really struggling, because when I start doing this project my knowledge about Bahasa Indonesia is not as good as I've ever thought before. Now that I was involved in this project I was promoted as a member in Kubernetes organization with sponsorship from the code OWNERS and fellow contributor from 🇫🇷. At that time this friend also dared me to write a paper and submit that into the KubeCon, however I still don't have the courage of doing public speaking with world wide audience. Even the thought about it is still too much.. for me.

After this localization project I began working on the kubernetes-client organization, this involved coding. It's fun, since I got the chance to learn more about Haskell. At this point I dared myself to apply for contributor discount for KubeCon, since it's too late for Barcelona, I tried my luck for KubeCon Shanghai. I emailed Linux foundation, include my Github handle and Voila I got the discount so that I got the ticket for "free". However another problem is I still need accommodation to be able to attend the event. I remember that Linux Foundation already spread about $770,000 USD for the purpose of providing scholarships. Diversity scholarship program provides support to those from traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized group in technology and/or open source communities. A recipient will receive up to $1500 USD to reimburse actual travel expenses (airfare, hotel, and ground transport). I began to search if KubeCon Shanghai is also supported, I saw this link about diversity scholarship and then I applied. The application mechanism is actually pretty straightforward, you'll be required to fill in the details about your experiences, motivations, and what will you gain after you attend the event. Few weeks later I got reply from Linux Foundation and they said they will give me travel fund for my accommodation. I feel so happy and blessed since I was selected as a part of 309 recipients (accumulated for 7 KubeCon events) around the world. I also feel excited to meet all the folks that I've known before through Slack or Mailing List. I have the chance of talking a deeper topic about CNCF related projects.

My intention of writing this is actually simple. I don't know how much people who feel the same as me. But I hope what I share can show you that sometimes it's better to try something new and then said I'm glad I did that, instead of letting the possibility of doing something new and then regret the decision that have been made in the past. Don't hesitate to contribute just because you feel intimidated especially if you're planning on contributing on CNCF projects, I think CNCF and Kubernetes have very nice people who eager to help you during your journey as a fellow contributors. Cheers..

Surely we will be really happy if you want to help as well 😊. We list all of the things that need to be done for this first milestone on the tracking page in this Github issue. Not all contribution include coding in the open source project. Happy contributing!

Yeah !!! I got selected in Secure and Private AI Scholarship. But here something for others. Read blog carefully for free access to this course.

Udacity and Facebook Collaboratively launch a program of learning for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning Enthusiast using Facebook Open Source framework PyTorch.

This new scholarship program, announced at F8, the Facebook Developer Conference in San Jose, will enable students to acquire skills in Federated Learning, Differential Privacy, and Encrypted Computation with the benefit of robust community support from Udacity.

The main motive behind this scholarship that how to use the newest privacy-preserving technologies, such as OpenMined's PySyft. PySyft extends PyTorch and other deep learning tools with the cryptographic and distributed technologies necessary to safely and securely train AI models on distributed private data while maintaining users' privacy

Recently, Facebook and Google are in news because of Insecure Data and big stuff. They are facing lots of big issues and trust for their community is being pointed out.

Ex. I am doing research on another healthcare related EHR (Electronic Health Record) project in which I am using PHI (Protected Health Information) of many patients to predict the disease. So it is essential to work on safety and security of the data and trained models of patient health record. As per International Laws HIPPA, patient information must be used securely. Many big giants companies paid a huge amount in millions of USD to their patient because they share their private data openly. So these companies are highly aware and putting concentration on data.

Long before Darrell was a member of our Board of Control, he and his family were involved throughout the state and modeled the concept of servant leadership," said KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett. "It is only fitting that we find a way to honor Logan's memory through this project. Recognizing student-athletes from his beloved mountain roots seems the most fitting way to kick off these awards. We will continue to work closely with Darrell and Jennifer to ensure their wishes and Logan's legacy are honored in the best manner in the future."

Logan Billings was sales manager of Tanner Chrysler Products in Stanton. He was inducted into the Powell County High School Baseball Hall of Fame and played collegiate baseball at the University of Pikeville.

"Logan was passionate in his love for baseball and high school sports. Jennifer and I are very proud to have his name associated with recognition for students in our great Commonwealth," said Darrell Billings. "We will continue to work with the Association on the best ways to help students, and at the same time, honor his memory and legacy."

Donations may be made to the Logan Billings Scholarship Fund, c/o KHSAA, 2280 Executive Drive, Lexington, KY 40505. Any donation to this fund will neither be part of the KHSAA General Fund nor part of operational expenditures.

On June 11, Modi Government announced scholarships for 5 crore minority students over the course of 5 years, with an aim to promote inclusive growth with trust among all communities.

50 per cent of the scholarships provided by the government will be reserved for girls from minority communities. Government is also expected to launch an awareness campaign, 'Padho-Badho' to promote education among girls.

"To ensure socio-economic-educational empowerment of minorities especially girls through '3Es- Education, Employment and Empowerment', various scholarships including pre-matric, post-matric, merit-cum-means etc will be provided to five crore students in next 5 years," Union Minister Of Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told the media.

Girls from minority communities who dropped out of school will be linked to education and employment through bridge courses from reputed educational institutions of the country.

About 10 lakh Begum Hazrat Mahal girls scholarship recipients will be identified in the coming five years from economically backward sections.

According to the Sachar Committee, only 4% of Muslims attend madrassas, as they grow up to become preachers at the mosque. Therefore, Madrassa teachers in the country will be trained by several institutions in subjects such as Hindi, English, Maths, Science and Computer so that they can educate the madrassa students, Naqvi said.

Free coaching for central and state administrative services, banking services, staff selection commission, railways and other competitive services will be provided to economically weak sections from minority communities - Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and Parsis, the minister said.

The minister also informed that the 'Padho-Badho' awareness campaign will also be launched across the country to encourage education, especially among girls from minority communities in those areas where people do not send their children to schools due to socio-economic reasons.

"The campaign will be focussed on girls. This awareness campaign will include 'Nukkad Natak' (street plays), short films and cultural programmes. The campaign will be launched in 60 minority concentrated districts of the country in the first phase," he said.

This programme is expected to launch in the Month of July.

Alex Joseph Fotia, Patricia Bernice McMillin and Hannah E. Froce are the 2019 Lincoln High School graduates who received monetary awards from the Lincoln High School Class of 1957.

Alex was given the $5,000 award, Patricia won a $2,500 award and Hannah received $500 for writing the best essay.

Their names were announced by James Meehan, '57 class president, during Lincoln's annual senior class recognition assembly. The three will be recognized at the '57 class reunion luncheon in July.

Alex, son of Joe and Lisa Fotia, will study in the computer science field at Robert Morris University; Patricia, daughter of Bob McMillin and Teresa Pogozelec, will study physics and astronomy at Youngstown State University; and Hannah, daughter of Neil and Carrie Froce, will major in special education at Urbana University in Ohio.

One of nine honor graduates in his class, Alex was awarded a presidential full-tuition scholarship from Robert Morris and the Bradley Grinnen Memorial Scholarship. He received the American Legion leadership medal and school award in eighth grade; was voted by teachers and fellow students for the class leadership award four years; was junior class president and head prom adviser; was a six-time president's gold award recipient for high honor roll; and was a Lions Club student of the month.

Chosen for National Honor Society, he was cited as an outstanding senior in mathematics, social studies and programming; was a four-year member of student council, Culture Club and German Club, serving as co-president his senior year; and was on the new junior high mentoring club, a member of ECTV morning announcements and video production crew and captain of the varsity track team.

Also a high honors graduate, Patricia was granted a president's scholarship from Youngstown as well as YSU honors program and honors housing scholarships. She also received the Dennis M. Norman Memorial Scholarship.

Active in Lincoln's music program, she sang with concert choir and choral capers, was in the school musical and participated in marching, concert and jazz bands. She was also marching band librarian. Her other activities included Drama, French, History, Culture and Envirothon clubs.

Hannah also received a $2,500 Wolves Club scholarship, a Caroline Knox grant and academic and athletic scholarships from Urbana University. She has committed to the Urbana Blue Knights acrobatics and tumbling team for four years. She teaches gymnasts at Diamond Dance Academy.

Also a National Honor Society member, she was president of Unified Club, vice president of Art Club and a member of History Club.

In her prize-winning essay, she stressed her involvement with special needs children. While at Lincoln, she spent at least an hour each day in the special needs classroom and assisted the teacher of the adaptive physical education class for a whole period each day. Hannah also assisted with Shining Stars, a special needs cheerleading team, and spent a day job shadowing a teacher at New Horizons, a school for those with special needs.

Hannah's goals are to get an education, help special needs children accomplish their goals and better prepare them to live independently.

Since 2009, Lincoln's '57 class has given $64,000 to 15 graduates. At its 50th anniversary in July 2007, the class supported James Ammeen, class vice president, in his plans to start a scholarship fund. In less than two years, class members donated $105,000 to start the fund, which is administered by the Beaver County Foundation.

The first scholarship went to Joshua Court. Other winners have been Brooke Ewing, Josh Guisler, Charity Stoll, Taylor Gearhart, Hunter James Kline, Marina Thetford, Cayla Renee Sudano, Zain Ansari, Dominic Nocera, Neisa Carsele and Zoe Kalantzis.

Ammeen and others on the class scholarship committee review information and essays from applicants, whose names are not known, to determine the recipients.

The scholarship fund is supported by donations, including those from '57 graduates who have pledged $57 per year.

Individuals and groups may make contributions by mailing checks, with a notation of EC '57 scholarship, to the Beaver County Foundation, Box 569, Beaver, Pa. 15009. All donations are tax deductible.
