Overall, this is just a few of many opportunities that can be received from my college preparation blog located at: http://www.ctherd.blogspot.com. Take advantage of the various search engines for high school students, undergraduates, and postgraduate students. Examples of keyword searches are: under-represented, minority, black, african american, women, diversity, etc.
It is important that the students commit to performing community service hours. Diversity is the big word in getting scholarships and community service plays a big role.
Please spread the word and make a different in someone life.
