Three Scholarships Available

The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities is offering three free tickets (normally $575 each) to edUi 2010 for cultural heritage organizations serving Virginia. edUi is a conference on web design and development specifically aimed at web professionals serving institutions of learning happening November 8-9 in Charlottesville, VA.

Preference will be given to small museums, cultural heritage organizations, historical societies and similar organizations serving Virginia with budgets that make attending edUi impractical. Additional consideration will be given to individuals or organizations poised to put what they learn to use on specific projects that will forward VFH's efforts to discover and share untold stories, encourage lifelong learning, and promote civil discourse through:
Commonwealth Outreach
Public events, seminars, exhibitions, educational resources, and long-term initiatives statewide.
Scholarship Serving the Public
Opportunities for scholars to reach broad audiences in Virginia, the nation, and world.
Digital and Media Initiatives
Culturally relevant content produced for public radio and Internet distribution.

Application deadline is Friday October 8th. Apply online at http://eduiconf.org
