Hefner Initiative-OSSM
Hefner China Fund's New Initiative...
Under the Hefner China Fund, MeiLi & Robert A Hefner III recently established the "Hefner Initiative -OSSM" Award in partnership with the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics (OSSM). The two awards are based on the following qualifications and requirements from applicants:
* Seniors from the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics, Oklahoma
* ACT or SAT Score
* A solid performance at OSSM (academic and citizenship)
* Resume submitted by the student
* An essay on the applicant's view in regard to "US/China relations"
The OSSM committee for the "Hefner Initiative – OSSM" Award will review the applications and essays and submit the semi-finalists to Mr. & Mrs. Hefner to select the winners. The winners will be known as "Hefner Awardee".
The award consists of a 10-day trip to China/Asia (i.e. comprising of return air tickets and accommodation paid for by the Hefner China Fund) and the Hefners will announce the cities of the destinations of the award at a later date.
On their return, the two "Hefner Awardees" are required to write about their trip and a follow up essay on how they now view "US/China relations". The Hefner Awardees are encouraged to give talks to their community and share their experiences with family, friends and fellow students. |
