GIA To Add Scholarships
The Gemological Institute of America's (GIA) board of governors released $297,000 in funding for scholarships from the GIA Endowment Fund. This disbursement will fund approximately 49 new scholarships in the GIA Schools of Business, Gemology, and Jewelry Manufacturing Arts (both on campus and through distance education.) This additional funding will allow the Institute to provide a total of 91 scholarships in 2008.
For the first time, GIA scholarship funding will be set aside for international distance education gemology students and those wishing to enroll on campus at GIA London and GIA India. The Institute will also expand its current scholarship program in the United States.
In preparation for awarding international scholarships, the GIA is also addressing the local tax and legal issues in each country.
"We are thrilled to be expanding our scholarship program to reach deserving individuals around the world," said Linda Ellis Harmeling, GIA vice president and chief advancement officer. "The education of tomorrow's jewelers, gemologists, and business leaders is the best investment our industry can make in its future."
The endowed scholarships are furnished by the interest earned on the GIA Endowment Fund. Because the principal is never touched, gifts to the Fund guarantee that the Institute can fulfill its educational nonprofit mission in perpetuity.
All 2008 scholarship applications must be received between June 15 and October 15, 2007. The successful recipients will be selected and notified by December 31.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Have you ever thought about adding just a little bit much more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is crucial and every little thing. But its got no punch, no pop! Possibly if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a more potent weblog if you let individuals SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.
