BlackStudents.com Offers Free Opportunities To African American Students
Long Beach, CA - There's a new tool available for African-American high school and college students, and its extremely useful. Its called BlackStudents.com, and it's a free online newsletter that keeps students posted about new scholarships, internships, and entry-level jobs on a weekly basis.
Currently, there are over one million Black high school and college students in the United States. Many of these either will not go to college or will overpay for college tuition because they are unaware of the opportunities around them. Many African-American college graduates are unemployed or underpaid - again, because they are unaware of certain opportunities.
"Our goal is to make them aware," says Dante Lee, president of Diversity City Media. "We launched BlackStudents.com because many African-American students simply don't know what's out there. There are so many scholarships and internships that they overlook."
Lee continues, "We feel that our site will play a key role in increased college enrollment amongst Blacks, and in better jobs for Black college graduates."
BlackStudents.com launched in mid-April of 2004 and already has 20,000 subscribers. Interested students are only required to provide their email address, and from them on, they will receive free notices about new opportunities.
