PROVIDENCE, R.I.-- The Rhode Island Foundation is now accepting scholarship applications for the 2009-2010 academic year, and for the first time students now must apply online.

Applicants can use the new free online Scholarship Tracking and Review System [STARS] for most scholarships available.

The STARS application allows students to enter their specific interests, academic credentials and school choice. The program helps the student identify which scholarships they would be most qualified for.

Some applications for foundation-administered scholarships still must be submitted directly to a school or institution.

The foundation offers 150 scholarships to assist students who live in Rhode Island attending middle school up to post-graduate study. There are scholarships available for a variety of disciplines such as music, communications, nursing or education.

Last year the foundation awarded roughly $1 million in scholarship assistance.

To apply online, visit the R.I. Foundation site.
