$50,000, $25,000 AND $10,000 DAVIDSON FELLOWSHIPS

The Davidson Institute for Talent Development is offering high achieving
young people across the country the opportunity to be named as 2005 Davidson
Fellows.

Individuals named as Davidson Fellows receive a $50,000, $25,000 or $10,000
scholarship in recognition of their outstanding achievements in the areas of
science, technology, mathematics, music, literature and/or philosophy. Each
submission must be an original piece of work recognized by experts in the
field as "significant" and it must have the potential to make a positive
contribution to society.

To be eligible, applicants must be under the age of 18 as of Oct. 1, 2005,
and a U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident. There is no minimum age for
eligibility. The scholarship must be used at an accredited institute of
learning.

The deadline to apply is March 25, 2005. Each year, the Davidson Fellows are
honored at a September reception in Washington, D.C.

Each application is evaluated on its scope and quality, level of
significance, and the applicant's depth of knowledge and understanding of
the work and related domain area.
