Scholarship Opportunity
I received the following in an email from a good friend in Philly
Do you know any Black males who are seniors in high school who want to go to
college out of state for FREE? Several Black Colleges are looking for future black male
teachers and will send them to universities/colleges for 4 years FREE.
The “Call Me MISTER” program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African
American male teachers particularly among South Carolina’s lowest performing public
schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served,
socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The program is a collaboration between Clemson University and four historically black
colleges in South Carolina: Benedict College, Claflin University, Morris College and
South Carolina State University.
The project provides:
Tuition for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study at
participating colleges.
An academic support system to help assure their success.
A cohort system for social and cultural support.
