Harvard Scholarships
Harvard University AnnouncementHarvard University announced 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 announced that 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 .

Message from Derrick S. Boone, Ph.D.:
Greetings, I wanted to let you know about a great opportunity here at Wake Forest where you can get a FREE education and get PAID while you're doing it.
Our Dean of the Schools of Business is the former CEO of PepsiCo and very committed to diversity. He's gone around to his CEO friends, who have agreed to donate a bunch of money to pay tuition and fees, provide a stipend, and a job, to diverse students. The details are below. The problem is, response to the program has been dismal! As a faculty member, I would be embarrassed for him to have to tell his CEO friends, "thanks so much for your donation, but unfortunately I have to give it back because we couldn't find any students who wanted it." So, I need your help. Please contact me if you, or ANYONE you know is interested in the program.
Don't worry about whether or not you have taken the GMAT, etc. All you need to do at this point is JUST APPLY.
About the Program: The Master of Art in Management program is designed specifically for liberal arts majors only. The MBA degree program is a 10 month intense study of the basic functional areas of business. After graduation and working for approximately two years, all MA graduates are eligible to apply to Wake Forest as part of the MA/MBA joint degree program and get the MBA in one year. The new Dean, Steve Reinemund, has created a new scholarship for diverse students pursuing the MA degree called the Corporate Fellowship.
The Corporate Fellowship provides full tuition and a $21,000 stipend to cover living expenses. Additionally, each Corporate Fellow will participate in a practicum. The practicum has two components, educational and professional development. Each student will be assigned a mentor that is a high level executive with their sponsor corporation. The mentor will oversee an educational project covering 4 of the functional areas of business using their own corporation as the subject.
The student will visit the corporation 3 - 4 times during the program to present his/her results of their rese arch project. Additionally, the "professional development" component of the fellowship provides career coaching and leadership development for the students.
The goal for the corporation is to be able to groom and hopefully, hire a top candidate from a diverse background for their organization. Of course, there is no obligation that the students accept any offer of employment. Still, the student benefits, even if they are not ultimately hired by their sponsor corporation in that they have the MA degree and the type of experience that will make them more marketable.

MYARTS Internship
MYARTS (located on 1522 Holmes) is looking for youth art interns, ages 15-19 to intern at one of their studios - either the ceramics, graphic design (web design, etc.), silk screen, photography, or visual arts. It is a 72 hour UNPAID internship, after school hours (M-TH @ 3:30-6:30pm). BUT after they "serve" the 72
hours, they are encouraged to apply for a job there at $7/hour. Usually
this continues until post-high school leading up to 12 hours IF they attend a local college. Then, if still interested, they could be hired on as an assistant.
REQUIREMENTS: Live in Jackson County; attend a Jackson County area school (private or public); exhibit a talent for art (have a portfolio or some type of display of their works of art).
Website: www.myartskc.org or call 816-881-3113.
I know of this company because my employer, the Full Employment Council, placed some teens there for summer employment. A "serious" budding, teen artist would jump on this opportunity. In a couple of months they will "really" start marketing this internship oppotunity. So, time is of essence.
GE is opening a new manufacturing plant near KCI in August and has approx. 100 job openings. With the end of the semester being so close, we need your help in getting the word out.
These positions start at $14.56 an hour with immediate medical, vision, prescription, life and dental insurance. They also have 401K match, pension, tuition assistance and paid time off.
Applicants must be able to stand during the majority of a work shift and be able to lift 50 lbs. A high school diploma or GED is required, while a technical certificate or Associate Degree are preferred.
Applications are available at www.gecareers.com. Enter position #805158 to begin the application process.
