A College Cheerleading Scholarship
Posted by: | CommentsA large part of a good upbringing is a good education. Parents have diverse financial resources but they also have diverse ways of organizing their children’s education. Some parents are better at it than others. Similarly, not all children want to become doctors or dentists, no matter what their parents would like and most of us thank God for that. Diversity is the spice of life, because fortunately we are not all the same.
Paying for your child’s higher education is quite another thing. The costs of higher education never seem to drop , in spite of the fact that there is a depression and parents are being laid off. State funding is also in question. Therefore, there is a huge pressure on the grants that are available.
If you are short of the requisite amount of money to send your child to college or pay for it yourself, you will have to use your best gift to try to secure a grant from private industry. You alone know what you or your child is best at and the best thing to do is to exploit that talent in order to get a scholarship.
One of the kinds of scholarship that is often overlooked by the academically inclined is a cheerleading grant. If you can dance, if you are out-going and if you like showing off, you might get a cheerleading grant, even if you want to study pure or applied mathematics! Tangents off this variation are grants for gymnastics and track events.
There are four things to consider when seeking a cheerleading grant and they can all be construed to begin with the letter ‘W’, so that they are easy to remember.
First find out WHO is in charge of cheerleading in your school and if they know where you can go to find out more information. If the coach in your school is not up to speed, go higher. Go over his or her head, otherwise you may miss out. If that does not work out, ask around for big local sports teams and write to the sports club directly.
Once you have the relevant information about where the organizations are, find out WHAT they require from you. A good approach would be to look at old games and practise the moves that the cheerleaders do in those games. Once you know the cheerleading moves from previous games, you will have shown an interest in the club.
Find out whether the fund that you are applying to has restrictions on WHERE you can be educated. Will you be constrained to the USA? If you want to study English in London, that will be a difficulty
Find out WHEN the application has to be sent in by. In other words, what are the deadlines.
There is a lot to do if you want a ‘free education’ no matter which way you try to get it. The point of this piece is to make you conscious of the fact that you do not need to only go down the route of applying for academic grants or even sports grants, things like cheerleading scholarships are also out there.

Speaker: Lesly Higgins
I’ve been coaching since 1999. After my first career in software development, with roles that included VP Software Engineering at Commerce One and VP Information Technology at Charles Schwab, I returned to school to complete an MS in Organizational Behavior and Development and also a comprehensive coaching program. I’ve coached at all levels in organizations, most functions, and with both early stage and Fortune 500 companies. Most of my clients are in the tech space, and they include: Agile Software, America Online, Apple Computer, Autodesk, Charles Schwab, Coremetrics, CNET, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Peoplesoft, Pixar, SAP, Shutterfly, Taleo, TiVo, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
I believe everyone wants to be more effective and more fulfilled in life. Usually we don’t know HOW to achieve that. And often we don’t know what skills are important to develop to increase our overall effectiveness and satisfaction in work, and to position ourselves for greater responsibility. I help clients to understand WHAT they need to work on, and then HOW to achieve their developmental goals. I partner with clients as a guide, a mirror, a challenger, a support system, a sounding board—to name a few roles. I help them to develop new awarenesses, master new skills, assimilate new ways of seeing the world and shift their way of being in a way that not only meets their developmental goals but also creates the ability to continue growing—as a person and as a leader. I’ve been coaching at Google since 2003.
Speaker: Greg Gillis
I combine real-world wisdom, gathered through years of high technology corporate experience, with solid coaching expertise and training — to help successful people become even more successful. I help my client’s transition from manager to leader, enhance their leadership skills, better work within political infrastructures, delegate effectively, and collaborate wisely. I often increase their awareness of power in the organization, how it is acquired, manifested, held and diminished. I enhance their influence skills–critical to a leader’s growth in managing cross-functionally. I increase their awareness about emotional intelligence and interpersonal effectiveness while helping them shift to a more encompassing outlook resulting in more successful performance.

Horses in the classroom? In the boardroom? It's about time.
Posted by: | Comments
Cowboys are legendary in Texas. And their solutions to everyday events are
pretty simple. If a fence needs fixing-well, you fix it. It doesn't
require a committee, or a meeting.
What if some back to basics were applied in business and education? A core
belief system that starts by treating people with respect. One that is
built upon trust so genuine that a powerful partnership can emerge?
Dr. Don Hutson thinks that this simple belief system can change the world.
So, he developed the Cowboy Solution.
After years as a teacher and business man, Dr. Don Hutson had a life
altering experience with a horse and found his true purpose.
While training horses, Don Hutson discovered that the same process he used
to train horses could be applied in the classroom, the boardroom and in with
life extraordinary results. Creating success through powerful partnerships.
