FREE to TWEET Scholarship Campaign - deadline is December 15th!

December 06, 2011

Disclaimer:  Cheyney University of Pennsylvania does not manage this site or endorse this scholarship program.  This information is provided for informational purposes only.

 

Students can win scholarships through "Free to Tweet" campaign celebrating First Amendment rights

 WASHINGTON — During a daylong online celebration of First Amendment rights, high school and college students nationwide can win one of 22 $5,000 scholarships through “Free to Tweet” on Dec. 15, the 220th anniversary of our right to free expression.

Beginning at midnight on Dec. 15, students ages 14 to 22 can tweet their support for the First Amendment with the hashtag #freetotweet, which will enter them in the “Free to Tweet” scholarship competition. Students are encouraged to freely express themselves in their entries, which can be posted on any publicly viewable social media platform, including blogs.

The initiative is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and organized by 1 for All, an unprecedented educational and public service campaign that builds understanding of the First Amendment and its five distinct freedoms: speech, press, religion, assembly and petition.

The Knight Foundation's recently released "Future of the First Amendment" survey indicates that young people who use social media have a better understanding of First Amendment freedoms.

"It matters what young people say about the First Amendment because each generation re-interprets these fundamental rights, often using the latest tools and technologies,” said Michael Maness, vice president of journalism and media innovation for Knight Foundation. “Today's high school and college students are tomorrow's defenders of the First Amendment and all the other freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights."

All Americans are urged to join the online celebration by tweeting their support for the First Amendment and help reinvigorate the often-overlooked Bill of Rights Day. In late November of 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Dec. 15 a national holiday on the 150th anniversary of the amendments’ adoption, declaring Americans “will not, under any threat … surrender the guarantee of liberty our forefathers framed for us in our Bill of Rights.” Just days later, Pearl Harbor was attacked and the United States entered World War II. The holiday declaration was largely forgotten.

“December 15 is the anniversary of the day America embraced the First Amendment and the entire Bill of Rights, but unfortunately it is all but forgotten as a national holiday,” said Ken Paulson, a founder of the 1 for All campaign and president of the American Society of News Editors. “Free to Tweet is a dynamic, multi-platform effort to rekindle appreciation for freedoms we dare not take for granted.”

Joining in support of 1 for All and the “Free to Tweet” campaign are such artists as Ke$ha, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Jana Kramer, Joe Nichols, Mary Chapin Carpenter and The Civil Wars. Other celebrity tweeters will be announced in coming weeks.

Students can enter the scholarship competition by tweeting a message of support — using the hashtag #freetotweet — for the First Amendment. The tweet can be self-contained or link to original content on a website or other social media platform. A panel of educators and First Amendment experts will review the entries and award 22 $5,000 scholarships, one for every decade since the ratification of the Bill of Rights. Judging criteria and complete rules can be found at www.1forall.us/freetotweet.

As part of 1 for All’s daylong celebration of the First Amendment on Dec. 15, the Newseum in Washington, D.C., will host a conference for educators on how to use social media to teach about freedom of expression. The event will also be webcast and available to teachers nationwide. More information on this event can be found at http://www.newseum.org.

Pennsylvania Postsecondary Educational Gratuity Program

This program honors individuals who lost their lives protecting the citizens of this Commonwealth by providing their children with a waiver of tuition, fees, and room and board charges. An act was signed into law that provides financial assistance to children of Pennsylvania police officers, firefighters, rescue or ambulance squad members, corrections facility employees or National Guard members who died in the line of duty after January 1, 1976.

This program provides a waiver of tuition, fees, and room and board costs charged by public postsecondary institutions. This waiver is only applied to charges that remain after all other grants (federal, state and outside scholarships) have been applied to your student account.

To qualify you must:
* Be a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
* Be a child by birth or adoption of a deceased police officer, firefighter, rescue or ambulance squad member, corrections facility employee or active National Guard member who died after January 1, 1976, as a direct result of performing his or her official duties.
* Be a child by birth or adoption of a deceased sheriff, deputy sheriff, National Guard member or certain other individual who was on federal or state active military duty who died since September 11, 2001, as a direct result of performing his or her official duties.
* Be 25 years of age or younger at the time of application for the program.
* Have already applied for available scholarships, as well as state and federal grants, and have provided a record of application for financial aid to the postsecondary institution to which application is made.
* Be enrolled at a Pennsylvania community college, state-owned institution, or state-related institution as a full-time student pursuing undergraduate studies that will lead to an associate or baccalaureate degree.
