多益獎學金申請日期延長，同學們切勿再錯過囉
2011 年第二屆多益獎學金特展延報名截止日至10月中
鼓勵青年交出暑假亮麗的「公益成績單」
2011年台灣地區ETS多益獎學金計畫原訂於8月31日截止收件，因接受到許多同學反應，有的希望能將在這個暑假所參與的志工活動成績，有的希望能將參加9月24日至27日的「國際新聞協會2011台北年會」志工等服務紀錄納入多益獎學金申請資料中；基於鼓勵青年積極做公益，ETS決定將申請截止時間延長至10月15日。
ETS為鼓勵青年學子學習英語熱忱、幫助他人改善國際溝通力，並積極參與公益，於去年(2010)舉辦首屆多益獎學金計畫，成果輝煌。其中大學得獎者蔡炘達獲得美國Berea College全額獎學金，已於8月啟程赴美深造，並表示：「能出國念書要感謝多益獎學金光環，讓我能順利申請到全額獎學金」；高職組得獎者泰北高中的柯愛詩還獲得了總統教育獎，且與另一位高中組得獎者周儀在頒獎活動中結識成為好朋友，她也在周儀今年主辦的「黏多醣症世界交流會」擔任志工，真是「德不孤必有鄰」。
ETS台灣區代表王星威表示，「今年我們得到了ETS支持，再舉辦第二屆獎學金計畫，從收到的申請件中，有的同學曾擔任2011四大洲花式滑冰錦標賽、2011國際自由車環台賽志工；也有同學曾利用課餘時間在特殊教育班中擔任陪讀小天使；也有同學在故宮擔任英語導覽志工，協助外國友人了解中國文化的博大精深，這些看似微小的行動與服務，都會對社會產生莫大的影響，同學們在做公益的同時，不僅是在付出，也是在學習由公益活動中養成一生受歡迎的陽光人格，這才是ETS推動此獎學金計畫的宗旨與目的。」
本獎學金共分為高中、高職、一般大學校院、技職校院與研究所5個組別，每個組別皆有10 個名額，共設立50名得獎名額，每名獲獎學生可得美金1,000 元。本計畫在每一組別皆提供2名低收入戶學生保障名額，以鼓勵弱勢族群積極參與。此外，主辦單位特別強調，即使是已在職場工作，並利用下班時間進修的在職專班學生，只要熱心公益，達到基本的多益成績門檻，也同樣具備申請多益獎學金的資格，歡迎多加申請。
積極參與公益關懷活動、多益測驗成績達到各申請類組最低分數要求的同學們，趕緊把握機會，在10月15日以前將相關資料寄至「ETS 2011年多益獎學金計劃小組」，就有機會成為第二屆多益獎學金得主喔！欲了解更多2011年台灣地區多益獎學金計畫細節，請參考：www.toeic.com.tw/scholarship.html。
