Urban League of Rochester, Black Scholars
The Black Scholars program provides recognition, assistance and incentives to students who achieve and maintain a "B" or better average throughout high school. The program identifies Black Scholars from school districts in Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, and Wayne counties. Workshops are held every fall and spring to prepare college bound students and their parents for college selection, admissions testing and applications, financial aid and college survival. The highlight of the program is the annual Black Scholars dinner held each June where each Black Scholar is publicly recognized and over $2.5 million in scholarships is presented.

Syracuse University has 10 Full Rides for African American Men
and Women Interested in Studying Architecture. Mark Robbins, Dean of
Syracuse University's School of Architecture is desperately seeking
young men and women of color interested in pursuing a five year
professional degree in Architecture. He says he's deeply committed to
bringing diversity to his field and has scholarship money set aside to
fully cover education costs for 10 students. He says that Hispanic
enrollment in the school has increased substantially, but it's been
harder to attract Blacks. Syracuse University School of Architecture has
a great reputation and this seems like a terrific opportunity, so please
pass this on to everyone you know.
