The Yale University Women's Organization (YUWO) is offering scholarship awards to women whose formal education has been interrupted or delayed and who wish to resume their studies, or enhance or change their careers.
Members of the Yale community and their family members are eligible for the awards. YUWO members and family are not eligible. Present staff members and wives of staff members will be given first consideration. Applicants are judged upon merit and need.
Applications for the 2006-2007 academic year may be obtained by writing to Betty Ann Levitin, 11 Debra Lane, Branford, CT 06405. Applicants should state their Yale affiliation and enclose a self-addressed, stamped business-sized envelope. Completed applications must be postmarked by March 1.

The Department of Classics is accepting applications for Berkeley, Biddle and Woolsey traveling fellowships from graduate students in classics and undergraduate majors in classics or archaeology.
The purpose of the fellowships is to enable students of classical antiquity to view the monuments, topography and landscape of the ancient world. They are not specifically designed for archaeology projects or research travel, although a program of study or research often makes an application more compelling.
The fellowships are made possible through the Berkeley, Biddle and Woolsey Scholarship Funds. Awards have not exceeded $1,500 per applicant in the past, but the amount depends on the annual income from the prize funds, the number of applicants and the merits of the proposals. The award is intended for use this summer, and winners will be required to submit receipts for major expenses.
Applications should consist of a statement of the proposed plan of travel and a budget, together with a brief signed statement of support from a faculty member. Applications must be submitted by noon on Monday, April 3, to Egbert Bakker, director of graduate studies, Department of Classics, 404 Phelps Hall. Applicants should submit their full legal name, college, year of graduation, nationality, gender, social security number and e-mail address at the time of application.
The School of Music, in partnership with New Haven Public Schools, is seeking musical instruments for a new program that provides free instruction to 500 students at the Lincoln Bassett School.
In the "Music in Our Schools" program, the students begin instrumental study in kindergarten as part of their core curriculum. Older children are given the opportunity to study string instruments and band instruments.
Donations of instruments are tax deductible. Drop-off locations are Sprague Hall, 98 Wall St., and Lincoln Bassett School, 130 Bassett St. To arrange for pick-up in the greater New Haven area, send e-mail to denise.meyer@yale.edu.
The Yale Cancer Center will begin sponsoring monthly Schwartz Center Rounds for physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, physical therapists and chaplains within the Yale Medical Center on Thursday, Feb. 9, 4-5 p.m. in the Max Taffel room at Yale-New Haven Hospital, 20 York St.
Moderated by Dr. William Sledge, the George D. and Esther S. Gross Professor of Psychiatry, the rounds will provide a multidisciplinary forum where clinical caregivers have the opportunity to focus on the social, emotional and personal aspects of patient care. The first topic of discussion will be "How to Steer the Ship: When the Doctor and Patient Disagree."
The Schwartz Center Rounds are a program of the Kenneth B. Schwartz Center, a non-profit organization committed to the promotion of a health care system where caregivers are compassionate, engaged, and able to spend the necessary time with patients, addressing both their medical and emotional needs. Schwartz, a healthcare attorney, established the center days before he died of lung cancer at age 40. For more information, visit www.theschwartzcenter.org.
For more information about the center rounds, contact Dr. Kenneth Miller at (203) 737-2161 or by e-mail at kenneth.d.miller@yale.edu.
