Why do fewer minority students attend graduate school? It's certainly not their scores, their ability or their determination.
In many cases, it's because they're not aware of the all the educational and financial aid opportunities. According to Mark Shay, President and CEO of GradSchools.com, that's about to change.
Chester, PA (PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- GradPortal.org is a free directory of graduate school programs geared directly toward minority students. The minority graduate scholarship and school resource directory also offers information on financial aid as well as advice on preparing for and surviving graduate school.
"There are hundreds of thousands of students out there who could add so much to this society but are never given the chance," says Mark Shay, president and CEO of GradSchools.com. "Our hope is that this new minority graduate scholarship and school resource directory will reveal opportunities that these students never realized were open to them, and will help them attend the school of their dreams and further their education."
This sounds like something worth checking out!

Hey Cheryl,
I read your post about scholarship resources and thought you might like to know about www.GovBenefits.gov. It’s the official benefits Web site of the US Government and provides information on more than 1,000 programs including scholarships. The site also features a free online questionnaire to help determine eligibility. Interested readers can also visit www.GovLoans.gov, the sister site of GovBenefits.gov, to find information about Government loan programs, including educational reimbursement loans. I hope you find these sites helpful to your readers.
