We got another goodie sent to us via e-mail, the text of it can be read below.  This one is a all the more better because it is not really a scholarship, more of a stipend for those of you who are working with a non-profit in California.

It requires you at least be working 30 hours a week with a non-profit, the catch – in a good way – however is that you can also qualify if you are volunteering.  You wonder, how the heck is that a good catch?  Well hear us out, how about you find a non-profit, work with them on the Dream Act and get a stipend for the work you do!?  Getting paid for Dream Act work, that is an amazing thing!

The Liberty Hill Foundation through its Bertha Wolf-Rosenthal Foundation Fund for Community Service Stipend will provide up to to five young people (ages 18-25 as of the end of December 2009) with a stipend of $5,000 each to help cover basic living costs (e.g., rent, food, utilities, transportation and childcare) while they work at a nonprofit organization anywhere in California during the 2010 calendar year.

Applications are due Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Notifications will be made by Wednesday, June 30, 2010.  Please take note of all the application requirements.  Below you shall find the eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

To be considered for the Bertha Wolf-Rosenthal Foundation Fund for Community Service Stipend, applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Show a history of community service work (in and/or out of school).

2. Demonstrate her/his financial need for supplementary income in the absence of support from family and/or other outside resources. Please note that there is no particular threshold of financial need we are considering. It is up to the applicant to decide if she/he would be a competitive applicant given her/his particular circumstances.

3. Currently work full-time (defined as 30+ hours/week) for a nonprofit organization in California. Unpaid interns working 30+ hours / week for the entire year may also apply.

This stipend is not a scholarship or a reward for prior nonprofit work. The stipend will go directly to the recipient and the nonprofit organization may not consider the stipend as a portion of the recipient’s salary. The recipient must also stay at their place of employment for the duration of the calendar year. Recipients who leave before the end of the calendar year will be required to return a proportional amount of the stipend.
