Scholarship Program

"Be An Angel"
Make An Investment In
The Future Of The World

Do you want to make a contribution to a cause where not one dime goes to salaries or overhead costs? Well, you have found the perfect place!

Every single cent collected for our Scholarship Fund goes directly to the students who qualify. You will know that you have "directly" helped a young student pursue his/her dream of making this world a better place! And because it will make you feel like an "angel," we will send you a little angel pin that will remind you that you have made an "investment in the future of this world," every time you look at it!

We began our Scholarship Program in 1993. At that time we pledged to grant four $250 scholarships a year. However, due to the generosity of our members and friends we have been able to grant 21 Scholarships instead of the 12 we had pledged!

To qualify, a student must:

  1. Be a high school senior or college freshman;
  2. Write a brief biography of their activities relating to nuclear disarmament, conflict resolution, or community service;
  3. Describe their plan for contributing to a healthy planet;
  4. Provide information on their school and community activities;
  5. Include two letters of recommendation.
  6. Please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope so we can reply to each of you.

    There are no grade point or age requirements, and students from any country may apply.

    We have already received over 200 applications for our 1996 awards. If you know any students who qualify, please encourage them to apply soon.

    Send your donations to:
