(NAME-MCE) Black Male Academy for Ph.D. Program

[Anselmo Villanueva]

For Black male college juniors who are interested in attending a PhD
program in 2011 in Education only.

Deadline is August 21.

My dean and I are launching an 18-month Academy here at Penn focused
on preparing Black males for admission to Ph.D. programs in education
immediately upon completion of their undergraduate studies. We will
begin the Academy this fall with 10 Black males who are in their
junior year of college;  Check it out here:

Each Academy participant will receive a 4-day all-expense paid visit
to Philadelphia this fall; opportunities for meaningful engagement
with our dean, faculty, graduate students, and Black male alumni; free
enrollment in a 3-month Kaplan GRE Prep Course (for which Penn is
paying $1,200 per participant); a current Black male Ph.D. student who
will mentor him through the application process; and an application
fee waiver when he applies for Fall 2011 admission to Penn (valued at
$85).

Please forward this link to Black male undergraduates on your campus
and encourage them to submit applications by August 21st:
http://www.gse.upenn.edu/blackmen. Again, the Academy is only for
Black men who are starting their junior year this fall and planning to
graduate in Spring 2011.

Many thanks,

Shaun
