Florida A&M SCHOLARSHIP for African-American Female Students

Florida A & M University is providing an outstanding opportunity for African-American 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 Investigator of a recently awarded $552,000 NSF Grant entitled 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. Please share this information with high school or community college students, parents, guidance counselors, or anyone who may be interested in this outstanding opportunity.
