Syracuse University has 10 Full Rides for African American Men and
Women Interested in Studying Architecture. Mark Robbins, Dean of
Syracuse University ‘s School of Architecture is desperately seeking
young men and women of color interested in pursuing a five year
professional degree in Architecture. He says he’s deeply committed to
bringing diversity to his field and has scholarship money set aside to
fully cover education costs for 10 students. He says that Hispanic
enrollment in the school has increased substantially, but it’s been
harder to attract Blacks. Syracuse University School of Architecture has
a great reputation and this seems like a terrific opportunity, so please
pass this on to everyone you know.

MONTHLY $10,000 SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MINORITY AND FEMALE STUDENTS

— Awards To Be Given Away July, August and September 2009 —

Nationwide – DiversityScholarships.com is giving away a $10,000 scholarship every single month to a high school or college student who is 18 years of age or older. The scholarship award can be used to pay for tuition, books, housing, and more. To apply, students simply have to register online, view free information from sponsor colleges and universities, and then confirm their registration.

Applicants must have at least one parent that is an African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, or Native American. Female students of all ethnicities are also eligible. In addition, applicants must be permanent residents of the United States, and must be planning to attend or are already enrolled in a college, university, or trade school.

At the end of the month, one random winner is selected from a drawing and the scholarship monies are paid in one lump sum directly to the winner upon verification. Typically, the drawing date is around the 30th or the 31st of the month.

The organization behind the web site that provides the scholarship funds is on a mission to help as many minority and female students as possible by offsetting their disadvantaged situation. A recent USA Today article revealed that minority enrollment in college lags disproportionately because of the lack of resources and financial aid being made available.

Hi Friends,

I hope you both are doing well. My dean and I are launching an 18-month

Academy here at Penn focused on preparing Black males for admission to

Ph.D. programs in education immediately upon completion of their

undergraduate studies. We will begin the Academy
 this fall with 10 Black

males who are in their junior year of college; I would love to have some

juniors from the Univ. of Wisconsin apply. Check it out here:

http://www.gse.upenn.edu/blackmen  

Each Academy participant will receive a 4-day all-expense paid visit to

Philadelphia this fall; opportunities for meaningful engagement with our

dean, faculty, graduate students, and Black male alumni; free enrollment

in a 3-month Kaplan GRE Prep Course (for which Penn is paying $1,200 per

participant); a current Black male Ph.D. student who will mentor him

through the application process; and an application fee waiver when he

applies for Fall 2011 admission to Penn (valued at $85).

Please forward this link to Black male undergraduates on your campus and

encourage them to submit applications by August 21st:

http://www.gse.upenn.edu/blackmen. Again, the Academy is only for Black

men who are starting their junior year this fall and planning to

graduate in Spring 2011.

Many thanks,

Shaun

This program was established by Drs. Bill and Camille Cosby at the University of Southern California‘s School of Cinema-Television.  Unaffiliated with USC, the Hanks-Miller Program is geared toward increasing the pool of qualified African-American writers in the entertainment industry. The program has single-handedly brought more successful African-American writers into the entertainment industry than any other program of its type.  Our program is not designed for beginning level writers. We are seeking writers who have taken the initiative to formally study television or feature writing through workshops or classes; a degree is not necessary. In an industry that is extremely competitive, we have found our greatest success in assisting those who have a strong foundation in television or screen writing.
Deadline: September 15, 2009

Harvard University Announcement

Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition.  In making the announcement, Harvard’s president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough.  We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution."

If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition.  The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free… no tuition and no student loans!
To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making less than $60,000 a year, visit Harvard’s financial aid website at: http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/or call the school’s financial aid office at  (617) 495-1581  .
