FLASH (the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes) announced in November that one $1,500 annual scholarship will be awarded in each StormStruck: A Tale of Two Homes sponsor’s name, and urged interested master and doctorate-degree students to apply.
The scholarships, first announced at the 2011 FLASH Annual Meeting as part of a tribute to the unprecendented success of StormStruck during its first three years at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® at the Walt Disney World® Resort, are as follows:

Even though the application process didn’t open until Dec. 1, interest is already high, including a disaster management coordinator with the Malawi office of World Vision International who is interested in pursuing – as a distance learner -- a master’s degree in disaster management at the University of the Free State in South Africa.
