University of Pennsylvania PhD Prep Program for Black Males
Jul. 30, 2009 by ngarrett
The University of Pennsylvania is launching an 18-month Academy here at Wesleyan focused on preparing Black males for admission to Ph.D. programs in education immediately upon completion of their undergraduate studies. They will begin the Academy this fall with 10 Black males who are in their junior year of college. Check it out here: http://www.gse.upenn.edu/blackmen
Each Academy participant will receive a 4-day all-expense paid visit to Philadelphia this fall; opportunities for meaningful engagement with the
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). Most importantly, those who are admitted to our Ph.D. Programs two years from now will be fully funded fortheir entire 3-4 years of doctoral study.
Please contact Santos Cayetano for additional information.
