This Week: NAP Scholarships, Free Student Membership, and Ask-an-Atheist Day!

Hi Everyone!

Well, let me tell you: the Reason Rally was amazing!!  I got to meet so many of our affiliate leaders and members, students interested in starting groups, and many, many others.  It really was a phenomenal event - just search Facebook or Twitter to see photos, watch videos and read articles about the event.

But despite Nick sharing his cold with the rest of the office, we haven't slowed down! (At least, not much!)  We've got scholarships, conference registrations, and a brand-spanking-new free membership program - join now!  This week is your last chance to order Ask-an-Atheist Day stickers.  And if you haven't renewed your group's affiliation yet (are you on the Outstanding Renewals List?), get to it!

Keep being awesome!

NAP Scholarships

The Secular Student Alliance does not endorse the National Atheist Party

More money! The National Atheist Party has four new scholarships for secular students. The first is called Scholarships for our Secular Future and the second is Science Steps Forward Scholarships. The former scholarship is open to all secular students who can demonstrate their political activism and the latter is open to all secular students who have declared a major in research or applied sciences. Each scholarship is worth $1,000 and each have both a high school and college recipient. Find the applications here. The deadline for college students is November 1st 2012. The deadline for high school students is March 1st 2013. Also don't forget about the Freedom From Religion foundation scholarships for high school, college and college graduates. Finally, keep an eye out on our scholarships page as new scholarships are added as they turn up.

Ask-An-Atheist Day 2012!

Last chance to request free stickers for this.
