Show, by your actions, that you choose peace over war, freedom over
oppression, voice over silence, service over self-interest, respect over
advantage, cooperation over competition, action over passivity, diversity
over uniformity, and justice over all.

2010 Rosalynn Carter Award/Scholarship Opportunities Announced!

Mattie J. T. Stepanek Caregiving Scholarship
Caregivers are often viewed as expendable resources in systems of care. As a
result, many caregivers are overlooked, ill-prepared and will ultimately
burn-out. The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving promotes the view
that family, professional, and paraprofessional caregivers are the most
valuable asset in any system of care, and they should be cultivated,
preserved, developed, and valued. 

The purpose of the Mattie J. T. Stepanek Caregiving Scholarship is to
provide financial assistance to family, professional, or paraprofessional
caregivers of any age who are seeking training or education in specific
skills, procedures and strategies that lead to more effective care at the
same time that they serve to protect the health and well-being of the
caregiver.

Four $2,500 scholarships will be awarded. Deadline for application is June
1, 2010. For more details and to download the application form, click HERE

Rosalynn Carter Leadership in Caregiving Award

Named in honor of a great humanitarian, the Rosalynn Carter Leadership in
Caregiving Award is the highest award given in the caregiving field. This
award recognizes leadership in implementing innovative partnerships between
community agencies and caregiving researchers that bridge the gap between
science and practice. These partnerships help move effective caregiver
support programs to widespread use in the community more quickly and
efficiently.

The award winning team will be announced at the RCI's National Summit to be
held October 20 - 22, 2010 at Georgia Southwestern State University in
Americus, Georgia. In addition to a beautiful statuette executed by renowned
sculptor Frank Eliscu, designer of the Heisman Trophy, former First Lady
Rosalynn Carter will present the team with a cash award of $20,000. This
special cash award is to support the team's efforts in implementing
effective caregiver interventions at the community level. 

Application deadline is July 1, 2010. For more information and to download
