Georgetown College President William H. Crouch, Jr. announced two $50,000 college scholarships at the 2007 Granville Academy Youth Conference held March 22-25 in Trenton, New Jersey.
Granville Academy is a national after-school coaching and counseling program that teaches business, entrepreneurship, science and technology with emphasis on community development and character building to youth in grades 8 through 12.
William H. Crouch, Jr. began his era of leadership-by-example the day he became president of Georgetown College in 1991. Often described as a visionary in not only corporate and academic worlds, but also in the community of Christian faith, Crouch’s initiatives have included achievement of many often-emulated programs, such as the President's Ambassadors, the Presidential Mentorship Program and Apprenticeship Challenge.
William Crouch’s life changed at the age of seven when he witnessed two Blacks being ejected from his father’s Jackson, MS church. Crouch recalled his father racing to stop the actions of the church’s deacons, and the impact the incident had. “I only saw my father cry twice in his lifetime. When my sister died and when the blacks were forced out.”
The experience left an indelible mark on the heart of the young Crouch, making him passionately determined to be a change agent.
Georgetown is a four-year, coeducational institution located 12 miles north of Lexington in Kentucky. Granville Academy is a national after school program that trains youth in basic business principles. William Granville Jr., retired Executive Vice President, Mobil Corporation, Middle East Subsidiary, started the program.
The Granville Educational program includes after school programs in several cities, including Baltimore, Maryland; Cleveland, Ohio; Trenton, New Jersey; Plainfield, New Jersey; Waterbury, Connecticut; North Carolina; and Northern Virginia.
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.
