Remembering how tough times can be for students, the Foundation is launching a major drive for scholarships. It is our hope to raise $190,000 to add to the $10,000 already raised for the endowed Scholarship Fund. Earnings from the total of $200,000 would provide for 5 scholarships of $2,000 per year.

Now that you have a job, we hope you will join us in contributing to the Scholarship Fund. We need at least $100 from each of you and hope many of you will see your way clear to giving $500. (And if any of you graduate students are well off, we would welcome a contribution from you, too.)

You will be receiving a formal request soon, if you havent already. You dont need to wait for that, however. Just send a check to the SIOP Foundation, PO Box 1205, Bowling Green, OH, 43402. Make it to The Dayton Foundation, noting that it is for the SIOP Foundation Scholarship Fund. Please respond with a generous check. We need to support those who will follow us in our field. Many thanks.

In other news, the SIOP Foundation has published its second Annual Report. You should receive it shortly after Thanksgiving. In it you will see that over $500,000 has been raised and that several grants have already been made to SIOP. In all, the Foundation returned $13,000 to the Society: $3,000 for the Owens, Myers, and Flanagan awards, and two awards from the Advancement Fund, $7,500 for small grants to researchers, and $2,500 for educating the public about I-O psychology.

Of special interest is the $50,000 donation by Sidney Fine to stimulate research and practice on job analysis and related issues. (More detail on this award will be forthcoming.)

The Foundation is off to a good start. Please add to the momentum with a generous gift to the SIOP Foundation Scholarship Fund.
