NOVEMBER 2007 DEAR STUDENTS, PARENTS, And FRIEnds You know the facts: it takes a lot of money to pay for a college education! These days students and families are struggling to meet the cost of tuition, room and board, and books, but you know it’s worth it, because without a college degree, your future is not as bright. But the question is how can you pay for it without breaking the family bank? Scholarships, that’s how! In addition to financial aid awarded by federal and state government agencies, there are numerous scholarships that colleges and universities, business corporations, private foundations, and community organizations are offering right now for high school students going on to college, undergraduate students currently enrolled, and even graduate students pursuing education beyond a bachelor’s degree. The money is out there, but how do you find it? The Pell Institute, along with The Sallie Mae Fund and BET Networks, is pleased to present this scholarship guide for African-American students as one way to make your scholarship search a little easier. Inside this guide, you will find information about scholarships that are designed to reduce the cost of college for African- American students, and for all students of color. Along with the who’s, what’s, and how’s for applying for scholarships, this guide also contains information to connect you to sites where you can download online applications (where available) and details to contact the sponsoring organizations both in person and online. You can also access the online version of this scholarship guide at www.blackcollegedollars.org, which allows you to search for scholarships based on your interests and abilities. We hope that you find this scholarship guide helpful as you navigate your way through paying for college! Good luck – now get started! Sincerely, Colleen T. O’Brien, Director, THE PELL INSTITUTE for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education 6 Black College Dollars 2007-2008 DIRECTORY FINDING DOLLARS FOR COLLEGE BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO LOOK THROUGH THE SCHOLARSHIps IN THIS GUIDE, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW. 1) WHY SCHOLARSHIPS? All students should apply for as much scholarship and grant aid as possible. Why? Because you don’t have to pay them back. This money is made available to help students who meet specific qualifications pay for college. Once you apply for and receive the scholarship money, you can use it to pay for the costs you face, such as tuition and fees, room and board, books, or other college-related expenses. In limited cases, some scholarship providers ask recipients to participate in community service or volunteer activities, or to work in certain jobs or areas for a limited time in exchange for the financial support. 2) HOW DO I APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS? As you will see in reading through this guide, each scholarship provider may have their own process for students to apply and determine eligibility. Generally speaking, though, you may be asked to download an application and mail it in, along with the required materials, or you may have to contact the organization to obtain a hard copy of the application. In some cases, teachers, faculty members, or members of your community may have to nominate you, meaning you will need to obtain nomination forms or other materials to start the process of being considered for the scholarship. While the requirements can vary, there is some general information that scholarship providers frequently request. To save time, gather the following before you begin filling out applications: resume; personal statements and/or essays; letters of reference/recommendation (from teachers, faculty, or other appropriate individuals); transcripts; GPA; writing samples; other samples of your work, such as art or media pieces; financial information, including the FAFSA (see below); parental/student income tax forms; and letters verifying enrollment, financial need, or receipt of financial aid. While you may be asked to customize some of this information for specific scholarships, starting with the basics will make the process go more smoothly from the start. 3) WHAT IS THE FAFSA? If you are a student who is entering college next year, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is used by the federal government to determine your eligibility for federal aid, such as grants and student loans. State agencies, colleges and universities, and many scholarship providers also use the FAFSA to assess financial need for students and their families. This form is available in January of each year. Using your own financial information, as well as your parents’ information, fill it out as soon as possible as many aid dollars are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you have completed and submitted the form, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR), which shows you how much money your family is expected to contribute towards your education for the coming SCHOLARSHIPS FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS 7 year. With this information, colleges and scholarship providers are able to understand the amount of financial aid you will need to pay for your education. If you are already enrolled in college, don’t forget that you have to renew your FAFSA every January to be eligible for aid the next school year. 4) HOW DO I KNOW IF SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS ARE LEGITIMATE? One practical rule

THE USE OF OLD CORRUGATED BOARD IN THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH QUALITY WHITE PAPERS by Rene' H. Kapik A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for The Bachelor of Science Degree Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December, 1983 ABSTRACT Clean corrugated board waste was fractionated into its softwood/ hardwood fiber components, repulped using a kraft pulping process, and bleached using a CEHD bleaching sequence in an effort to produce high brightness fiber suitable for use in medium to high quality white paper. The papers produced had almost equivalent mechanical strengths and opacity, but possessed unsatisfactory brightness and cleanliness when compared to commercially manufactured,:. bleached kraft pulps of identical softwood/hardwood contents. Based on this experimental data, the use of recycled fiber from corrugated board as a fiber substitute in the manufacture of high quality printing and writing papers is not recommended due to its inferior brightness and cleanliness.

Parameters investigated included the molar ratio of succinic anhydride/anhydroglucose units in cellulose in a range from 2:1 to 14:1, reaction time (from 30 to 160 min), and reaction temperature (between 60 and 110 °C). The succinylated cellulosic derivatives were prepared with a low degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.071 to 0.22. The results showed that the increase of reaction temperature, molar ratio of SA/AGU in cellulose, and reaction time led to an increase in DS of cellulose samples. The products were characterized by FT-IR and solid-state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis.

  • The National Negro Health Movement and the Fight to Control Public Health Policy in the African American Community, 1915-1950
    ENTHRONING HEALTH: THE NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH MOVEMENT AND THE FIGHT TO CONTROL PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, 1915-1950 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Paul Alexander Braff Diploma Date December 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Bettye Collier-Thomas, Advisory Chair, History Dr. Bryant Simon, History Dr. Lila Berman, History Dr. James Downs, External Reader, Gettysburg College ii © Copyright 2020 by Paul Braff ________________ All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the early 1900s, African Americans died at higher rates, got sick more often, and had worse health outcomes for almost all diseases when compared to whites. This disparity was due to a combination of racism, discrimination, and segregation. Most blacks could only afford to live in unhealthy conditions and had little or no access to medical professionals. Problematically, poor black health led many whites to think of blacks as being inherently diseased, promoting the segregation and discrimination that contributed to black ill health in the first place. This project examines Negro Health Week (NNHW), which became National Negro Health Week (NNHW), a public health campaign designed by African Americans as a systematic effort to improve their health that lasted between 1915 and 1950. The dissertation reveals the strategies African Americans used to empower themselves to combat ill health and the ways medical ideas became accessible to blacks. The racism of the white medical establishment limited the ability of African Americans to enter the medical profession. The small number of black doctors and nurses meant that NHW had to rely on non-medical professionals to teach health practices.

    2006-2007 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY WHAT MAKES Philanthropy HAPPEN? WHAT MAKES PHILANTHROPY HAPPEN? At The Community Foun- dation for Greater Atlanta, we believe real philanthropy happens when you encourage people to truly connect to their community and ultimately, connect their passions with a purpose. The time we spend with each donor, our support of community needs, the knowledge we share with others – all of this helps us to better understand the individual parts of our community and helps others unleash their philanthropic power. Philanthropy is not one person’s job, it is not one organization’s responsibility and it is not something that we can do alone. Real philanthropy – powerful philanthropy – happens when we connect with one another, share our resources of time, finances and knowledge, and inspire one another. THAT’S WHAT MAKES PHILANTHROPY HAPPEN.
