The Roothbert Fund, Inc.
The Roothbert Fund was created in 1958 by Albert and Toni Roothbert to help men and women in need of financial aid to further their education. The principal focus of The Fund is its Scholarships Program, through which it makes grants for undergraduate or graduate study at accredited colleges or universities. Scholarships may only be applied to study at an accredited institution based in the United States. The Fund seeks candidates who are "motivated by spiritual values," and works to foster fellowship among them.
Eligibility:
Roothbert Fund scholarships are open to all in the United States regardless of sex, age, color, nationality or religious background. While the Fund does not emphasize any particular form of religious practice or worship, it seeks to provide support to persons motivated by spiritual values. The Fund has awarded grants to persons entering a wide range of careers. However, preference will be given to those who can satisfy high scholastic requirements and are considering careers in education. For more information, applicants should read with care the Founders Prologue in the History and Mission of the Fund.
As a rule, The Roothbert Fund does not make Scholarship Grants EXCEPT to applicants whose current or permanent address is located in one of the following States of the United States and applicants planning to move to one of such States prior to March 1 of the year in which the application is made: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, or North Carolina.

Surveys


Office of Intercultural Relations: How Useful are the Weekly Emails?
I've developed a brief survey asking you to think about your use of these weekly emails.  Please take a few moments to complete the survey by clicking on this link. 

Study on Latino Men
Please complete the following survey if you are interested:

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Chris Liang and I am assistant professor of psychology at the University of La Verne. I am emailing to ask your assistance in my efforts to recruit Latino men to participate in a web-based survey. For this project, Latinos are defined as individuals who can trace their ancestry back to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationships between racism, masculinity, and outcomes for Latino men. Since very little research about the experiences of Latino men has been conducted in the social sciences, your participation is important. The study should take about 25-30 minutes to complete and your responses will be kept confidential.

This study has been approved by my University's Institutional Review Board. The results of the study will be reported in group form and will inform professionals in the fields of psychology, counseling, and education.

PLEASE help me by forwarding this email to friends who may be interested in participating. If you are a Latino male, please also consider participating in the study yourself.

You may complete the English language version of the survey by clicking this link.
