[bfsa] African-American Women in Computer Science.

[Brenda Scarborough]

FYI/Sharing with; please do the same.

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 release can be found at the link below:
