PHIP SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
PHIP is pleased to announce the 2010 Parrot Head Scholarship program.
Application Deadline is March 15th.
The Parrot Head Scholarship Program was established in 2008 as a benefit to the members of PHIP sactioned Parrot Head clubs. Current members of an officially sanctioned Parrot Head club, and their children, grandchildren, and wards can apply for the scholarship.
In 2010, the scholarship will make three awards: $5,000, $3,000 and $2,000. These funds are to help with post-secondary education and may be used for tuition, books or living expenses at an accredited four-year university or college of the student's choice.
What does it take to win one of these scholarships? First, the student must send an application to PHIP by March 15. The application has some short answer questions and an essay. HIghest consideration will be given to applicants who demonstrate previous examples of participation and leadership for Charity, Environmental, Civic and/or Parrot Head Club volunteer work. High consideration to applicants who will be pursuing a course of study that leads to a degree, certification or credentials. All applications will be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee, which will select the winners. The decision of the Committee will be final.
In an effort to ensure fairness, PHIP will this year be making it a blind application. Applications will be sent to PHIP Secretary Deb McCall; she will assign a number to the application and remove the cover sheet that will have the applicant's name.
The application and application instructions can be found on the PHIP website - www.PHIP.com Click on PHIP Scholarship on the drop down menu. This will take you to the Application instruction site which includes the application link.

ABOUT US:
Pirates on the Panhandle (PoP) is a chapter of Parrot Heads In Paradise, Inc. (or PHiP). For more information on PHiP, go to www.PHIP.com
With a total of 237 Parrot Head Clubs nationwide, we collectively raised for and/or donated approximately $3.1 million to charitable organizations in 2008. Equally significant, Parrot Heads carried on the tradition of volunteerism as 2008 saw chapters worldwide donate an estimated 175,000 man-hours to philanthropic and environmental activities. The upshot … In the period 2002 – 2008, Parrot Head Clubs have collectively contributed more than $16.4 million and more than 2.3 million man-hours to aid our communities, our environment and help our fellow man!
The purpose of our organization is to promote friendships and organize social activities for people with similar interest, including enjoying the lifestyle portrayed by Jimmy Buffett’s music.
Pirates on the Panhandle encourages its members to provide a variety of volunteer efforts locally, for community environmental causes and doing so with a social blend. In the process of building new relationships with friends and family activities, we believe in leaving something positive behind as we “Party With A Purpose!”
