Speaking of Black Males..pass along this info

I recieved this info...wonderful oppurtunity

The University of Pennsylvania is launching an 18-month Academy here
focused on preparing Black males for admission to Ph.D. programs in
education immediately upon completion of their undergraduate studies.
They will begin the Academy this fall with 10 Black males who are in
their junior year of college. Check it out here:

Each Academy participant will receive a 4-day all-expense paid visit to
Philadelphia this fall; opportunities for meaningful engagement with the
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). Most
importantly, those who are admitted to our Ph.D. Programs two years from
now will be fully funded for their entire 3-4 years of doctoral study.

Please forward this information to Black male undergraduates you know
and encourage them to submit applications by August 21st. The Academy is
only for Black men who are starting their junior year this fall and
planning to graduate in Spring 2011.

Spread the word!
