A&M Looking for Black Female Students
Florida
A & M University is providing an outstanding opportunity for
Black
women entering college in the fall of 2009. It is designed to address
their
absence in the field of computer technology. Dr. Jason Black is the
Principal

African-American
Women in Computer Science. The grant provides scholarships
from $4000 to $10,000 per year for female African American
students.
We
need your help to get the word out about this great opportunity to
build
back up the enrollment of women in the CIS Department. Pass this information
along to high school or community college students , their parents,
and to guidance counselors you may know. The full text of the
