Nissan North American and the United Negro College Fund recently announced that they are seeking applicants for the Nissan-UNCF “SHIFT_” knowledge Scholarship Program. Created in 2004 to recognize academic achievement and leadership, the Nissan-UNCF “SHIFT_” scholarship honors the Historically Black Colleges and Universities, awarding $10,000 each to 10 Los Angeles-based high school seniors who plan to attend an HBCU for the 2006 fall semester.
Renita Tyson, area development director of UNCF, said, “The joint partnership between Nissan and UNCF supports our mutual goal of empowering our communities through investments in youth and higher education."
To be considered for the scholarship, students must currently be enrolled as a high school senior in the Los Angeles Unified School District, have a minimum 3.0 G.P.A., and plan to pursue a degree in engineering, design, marketing, business, communications, public relations, finance, or law. Qualified students can apply online at www.uncf.org
A virtual spokesperson for black technology, BlackEngineer aspires to serve as leading news and information provider on the advancements in black technology with deep insights into black engineering, black entrepreneurs, black education, and historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). In fact, BlackEngineer is one of the very few to promote the achievements of black technology. The Black engineer of the year awards (BEYA) is one of our successful ventures to promote black technology, progress and achievements made in black technology, and the sentiments of the Black community in the US, the UK, Caribbean, and Africa.
Black technology entrepreneurs are increasingly providing the horsepower that drives the global economy. Over the last two decades, black entrepreneurs have created more jobs, and contributed much more to the economic expansion of the Black community as a whole, than any black pastor or politician. Black entrepreneurs are taking risks and building businesses that generate economic growth and increase prosperity in underserved areas, as more minority-owned and minority-focused businesses emerge, willing to serve the financial needs of Black entrepreneurs. US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine's annual list of Top Black Technology Entrepreneurs reflects the expanding scope of leading Black entrepreneurs in information technology, homeland security, and defense.
