The competition for these awards is intense, and students look to scholarship advisors for support. Many universities have created an office or designated part of an office to assist these students, which has provided greater access for students who may not have applied previously or successfully. It has also increased the competition. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe twelve essays in this collection from the 2003 National Association of Fellowships Advisors Conference held at the University of Denver. Essays by the heads of the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates, and Truman Scholarship foundations provide a sense of the philosophy and direction of their programs. The essays provide information on new initiatives, insights into the history and significance of the programs, and insider tips for application and interview preparation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther essays focus on the advising and application process from successful \u003cbr\u003eadvisors at various universities, how the U.K. higher educational system differs from that in the United States, and the key issue of ethics in the application process. All the essays demonstrate that the scholarship application experience itself is a valuable one that is more about learning and service than it is about winning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne McCray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557287880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557287885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arkansas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.34w x 0.47d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suzanne McCray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052539703551,"sku":"9781557287885","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d7fe8c9-82de-400e-ab8d-d24f81754b2a.jpg?v=1685019388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-winning-suzanne-mccray-9781557287885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
