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 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. 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 press
