Black Collegian Organizations Assisting People of Color

http://web.archive.org/web/20010628233934/ http://www.black-collegian.com/graduateschool/graduate.shtml

The challenge for 95% of the students interested in graduate and professional study is finding money--scholarships, fellowships, and grants. Finding money is especially difficult for students who don't know what monies are available or how and where to look for them. African Americans, in particular, lack the information needed to identify these financial resources and, as a result, tend to think more about taking out a loan to pay for their education. If other sources are not available, you should consider a loan. However, our hope is that you will use the information provided as a launching pad to find and secure free money for your graduate and professional studies. THE BLACK COLLEGIAN has compiled the following listing of some of the organizations assisting people of color interested in pursuing graduate and professional degrees in management, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, engineering, law, human resources, labor/industrial relations, material sciences, astronomy, computer science, geology, chemistry, and physics. Still available thanks to the Internet Archive.

If you have access to the world wide web and are willing to fill in the online forms, this service promises a free customized list of financial aid sources. FastWeb is actually a searchable database of more than 400,000 private sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and loans from more than 3,000 sources for all levels of higher education. First-time visitors have to register (first and last name and a user ID), then complete a profile, including background and fields of study. Registrants then receive a list of all currently relevant funding sources. The registration information is stored and can be used on subsequent visits. The entire sign-up process, and delivery of available funding sources, can be a bit tedious: about five to twenty minutes, depending on the connection speed. Approximately 500 new scholarships are added to the database daily, so registrants can stay current.
