• Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS)<br />
http://www.gmsp.org<br />
In its inaugural year 2000/2001, <strong>the</strong> Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) completed its first selection <strong>of</strong> students.<br />
This program awarded 4,000 <strong>scholarships</strong> <strong>to</strong> entering freshmen, continuing undergraduate and graduate<br />
students. <strong>The</strong> scholarship responded <strong>to</strong> one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> salient goals <strong>of</strong> GMS <strong>of</strong> providing financial assistance <strong>to</strong> lowincome<br />
minorities with significant financial need* (*significant financial need for entering freshmen or<br />
continuing undergraduates means Federal Pell eligibility). This assistance is expected <strong>to</strong> help minimize <strong>the</strong><br />
need for <strong>the</strong>se students <strong>to</strong> work and eliminate <strong>the</strong> burden <strong>of</strong> loans, thus, enriching academic achievement and<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> a college education.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation seeks nominations for <strong>the</strong> Gates Millennium Scholars program for lowincome<br />
students <strong>of</strong> color.<br />
