American Legacy Foundation Dr. Alma<br />
S. Adams Scholarship<br />
The Dr. Alma S. Adams Scholarship for<br />
Outreach and Health Communications<br />
to reduce tobacco use among what the<br />
American Legacy Foundation calls “Priority<br />
Populations.” Priority populations are those<br />
populations who are disproportionately<br />
targeted by the tobacco industry, or who often<br />
lack the tools and resources to combat<br />
smoking in their communities. Identified<br />
priority populations are Native Americans/<br />
Alsaka Natives, <strong>Hispanic</strong>s, African Americans,<br />
Asian/Pacific Islanders, Low SES, and<br />
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender<br />
communities. The Adams scholarship will<br />
award a total of $5,000 annually for up to<br />
two candidates to pursue undergraduate or<br />
graduate studies at an accredited institution<br />
of higher education in the U.S. The<br />
scholarship, named for founding Legacy<br />
board member, Dr. Alma S. Adams, will be<br />
awarded to individuals who have demonstrated<br />
a commitment to community service<br />
or used the visual arts or media to convey<br />
culturally-appropriate health messages on<br />
behalf of a disadvantaged population. Entries<br />
may include creative writing, a musical<br />
composition or a sample from a visual arts<br />
medium.<br />
