Opportunity for Students of Color fighting for Social Justice

I want to share with you some information about a scholarship program
for students of color who are interested in fighting for social justice.
This program is for sophomores and juniors at four year colleges or
universities. We place them on one of our organizing drives for 10
weeks during the summer. The program is designed to expose students to
as much of the labor movement as possible. They are paired with a
mentor who helps them through the summer. A couple days of the program
are spent at Harvard University where we either orient the students to
the program at the beginning of the summer or debrief them at the end.
We cover all transportation costs, housing and provide a rental car.
Students receive a stipend of $4000 and up to $5000 in scholarship money
from the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). Below is the link for our
webpage. If you know of any students that qualify for this program
please pass this information to them. I can also send you brochures if
you're interested.
