Cheyney University Of Pennsylvania

Cheyney, Pennsylvania

Founded in 1837 as the Institute for Colored Youth, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is the oldest of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities in America. The founding of Cheyney University was made possible by Richard Humphreys, a Quaker *philanthropist who bequeathed $10,000, one tenth of his estate, to design and establish a school to educate the descendents of the African race.

Born on a plantation in the West Indies, Richard Humphreys came to Philadelphia in 1764. Having witnessed the struggles of African Americans competing unsuccessfully for jobs due to the influx of immigrants, he became interested in their plight. In 1829, race riots heightened and it was that year Richard Humphreys wrote his will and charged thirteen fellow Quakers to design an institution: "...to instruct the descendents of the African Race in school learning, in the various branches of the mechanic Arts, trades and Agriculture, in order to prepare and fit and qualify them to act as teachers...."

The school began in Philadelphia as the Institute for Colored Youth and successfully provided free classical education for qualified young people. In 1902, the Institute moved to George Cheyney's farm, 25 miles west of Philadelphia. In 1913, the name was changed to Cheyney State Teachers College; in 1921, the State Normal School at Cheyney; and in 1959, Cheyney State College. In 1983, Cheyney joined the State System of Higher Education as Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.

Today, Cheyney University students represent a variety of races, cultures, and nationalities who receive education instruction beyond the vision of Richard Humphreys. Cheyney graduates still become teachers, but students also enter careers such as journalism, medicine, business, science, law, communication, and government service. The university offers baccalaureate degrees in more than 30 disciplines and the master’s degree in education.

How Do I Get An Internship?

1. Get the best grades possible in school.
Employers are more inclined to hire college students that are doing well in school. In addition, employers look at the type of classes you have been taking. Students with a rigorous academic program are preferred.

2. Participate in school-sponsored activities like clubs and sports.
Employers believe that this demonstrates an ability to get along with others and that’s what they want.

3. Participate in community activities.
Employers see this as a sign of your ability to serve others. This experience provides them with insight about how you will serve customers.

4. Be aggressive. Ask around, surf the web and go out and look for an internship
An internship will not fall in your lap. Most employers don’t feel the need to advertise to students. Employers are expecting that you will seek them out.

Ask everybody you know—teachers, counselors, your parents, friends, (including the people that your parents and friends know) about places that are hiring students. Call or go to the location and apply.

Look for “now hiring” signs at places where you’d like to work and ask to speak with the hiring manager for the establishment. Ask if they will hire teens and if so, offer to complete an application.

Employers are impressed when students take the initiative to ask for an internship. It shows employers that you are self-motivated and really want an internship.

5. Learn how to complete an application
Employers want to know about you but they are also looking for neatness and accuracy in the completion of the application. Misspelled words and sloppy handwriting are a turn-off.

6. Be prepared to be interviewed on the spot.
Employers may not tell you this but they are sizing you up the first time they see you so it’s best to be prepared. Dress appropriately for business. While nose and tongue rings might be cool among your friends, most employers still frown upon their use in the workplace.

7. Practice talking about yourself beforehand.
It helps to be prepared for the interview. The more comfortable you are the better. Employers are impressed by teens who make eye contact, shake hands firmly and are confident about themselves. If you’re an above average student, say so. If you have other talents, skills and abilities that would be helpful on the job, make sure the interviewer knows it. Be positive and take your time answering questions. Answer in full sentences and talk about what you bring to the job.

8. Learn something about the company where you want to work.
Employers are charmed when teens know something about the company and share it. It shows you are really taking an interest in them.

9. Follow up.
At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for the opportunity. Ask when you will be notified if you have the job. Write a thank you note to the interviewer. Follow up with the interviewer if you don't hear back within a week. Employers need to know you are serious.

10. If you land the internship, be a good employee. Earn a positive reference.
Employers expect that you will a) be on time, b) be positive, c) work well with others and d) do the best job you can. This is important! Getting good references will be a viable part of your ongoing career. New employers will always ask past employers about how well you have performed on the job.

Be Determined

If at first you don't succeed, brush it off. Remain positive and move on to the next possibility. The more you search and the more applications you submit, the more likely you will land a job.

Consider Alternatives.

IfBy Renee Ward, Founder & Executive Director
www.teens4hire.org you can afford to, consider other alternatives to working for pay this spring and summer. Attend summer school or volunteer. This experience will look great on your application next year.

Central State University

Wilberforce, Ohio

Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, is one of the nation's oldest historically black universities, with a 120-year legacy of academic and athletic achievements. The College of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Business and Industry, which includes the Departments of Manufacturing Engineering and Water Resources Management, form the core of the University’s varied academic offerings.

The CSU Institute for Urban Education (IUE) builds on Central State’s roots as a center of excellence for teacher education. It also reflects the College of Education’s emphasis on preparing teachers for work in today’s urban classrooms. Housed in the newly constructed Center for Education and Natural Sciences, the IUE serves as a national resource center for the training of urban teachers and the exchange of scholarship on urban education issues. A newly developed program in environmental engineering builds on CSU’s signature Water Resources Management Program, and a new major in criminal justice will further expand career opportunities for Central State University students.

A centrally located branch campus in Dayton, Ohio, CSU-Dayton, offers a range of courses and class schedules that serve the needs of nontraditional learners wishing to complete their undergraduate degrees, pursue master’s degrees in education, or take advantage of professional development opportunities.

Central State is home to the nationally renowned Central State University Chorus, which has twice been nominated for a Grammy. The Lady Marauders basketball team is perennially in the national rankings and has traveled to 12 straight NAIA national tournaments. The track and field team as well as the cheerleading and dance troupes have also won championships and awards, and the Central State marching band, the Invincible Marching Marauders, have twice performed at the national Honda Battle of the Bands and been featured in the 2006 film Dave Chappelle’s Block Party. With the return of football to Central State in 2005, the Mighty Marauders are reviving a legacy that produced several national championships. Central State’s impending move to NCAA Division II will widen the University’s competitive field and provide more exposure for Central State University’s student athletes.

CSU is Ohio’s only predominately African American public institution of higher education, but it is, and has always been, “open to all persons of good moral character,” as ordained by the 1887 legislation that created Central State's predecessor. The University actively promotes diversity in its student body, faculty and staff, even as the institution adheres to its core historical responsibility to educate young African American men and women.

Essential Steps to Selecting a College

Chances are, picking a college may be the most important decision you've made so far. With more than 3,000 institutions of higher learning in the United States alone, it can seem overwhelming.

But here's the good news: There are scores of outstanding colleges and universities nationwide, plus lots of information available on how to select one that's right for you. You can start your selection process with a few simple steps:

Identify your must-haves.

Ask yourself some serious questions:

Do I want to attend a large university or a small

college?

Do I want my school to be in a rural, suburban, or urban setting?

Do I want to live close to home? What can I afford?

Will my family help pay for my education?

Do I want to live on campus or commute? What do I want to major in?

Answering these questions will go a long way toward helping you create a list of schools that meet your *criteria.

It may also be helpful to divide your top choices into "reach" schools—those that might be a stretch financially or academically; mid-range schools where you're likely to get in but aren't sure; and safety schools—the sure bets. A good rule of thumb: Apply to three reach schools, three mid-range school, and two safety schools.

ATTENTION ALL HONOR STUDENTS

FREE TUITION

Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution."

If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!

Bethune-Cookman University

Daytona Beach, Florida

The heart of the university is situated on Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard, representing the historical core of the institution, where the seven historic buildings comprised the historical main campus. Surrounding those buildings are evidences of the progress made in the development of the boundaries which now extend beyond International Speedway Boulevard to the South; George W. Engram Boulevard to the North; Lincoln Street to the West; and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to the East. The university remains connected to Midway, the historic African-American community.

The student population is representative of a microcosm of cultures, traditions, and legacies and resembles a Model United Nations, much like the organization formed on this campus. It’s a multi-cultural heaven.

With more than 3000 students from most U.S. States, the Caribbean Islands, and 35 countries, the impact of this private United Methodist Church-related school is influencing the current enrollment. The university is the 6th largest of the 39-member UNCF colleges. Female students constitute 60% of the total enrollment while male students comprise 40%. In 2004, 64% of Bethune-Cookman University students were Florida natives and 10% of students were from Volusia County, 32% of all students were from the United States (aside from Florida) and its territories, and 4% were international students. The women’s tennis team ranked second place for MEAC.

The great Bethune-Cookman University has risen from the ashes like the mighty Phoenix to become the great citadel of learning in the heart of Central Florida. With a total full-time teaching faculty of approximately 160, 55% of whom hold the doctorate degree, the vision of the founder remains in full view over one-hundred years later. The institution prevails in order that others might improve their heads, hearts, and hands.

6.Is this school a testing center for the SAT^®, or will I

need to go somewhere nearby?

Reality Check

PELL GRANTS

Program Description

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain post baccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education. Students may use their grants at any one of approximately 5,400 participating postsecondary institutions. Grant amounts are dependent on: the student's *Expected Family Contribution (EFC) (see below); the cost of attendance (as determined by the institution); the student's enrollment status (full-time or part-time); and whether the student attends for a full academic year or less. Students may not receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.

Financial need is determined by the U.S. Department of Education using a standard formula, established by Congress, to evaluate the financial information reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and to determine the family *EFC. The fundamental elements in this standard formula are the student's income (and assets if the student is independent), the parents' income and assets (if the student is dependent), the family's household size, and the number of family members (excluding parents) attending postsecondary institutions. The EFC is the sum of: (1) a percentage of net income (remaining income after subtracting allowances for basic living expenses and taxes) and (2) a percentage of net assets (assets remaining after subtracting an asset protection allowance). Different assessment rates and allowances are used for dependent students, independent students without dependents, and independent students with dependents. After filing a FAFSA, the student receives a Student Aid Report (SAR), or the institution receives an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR), which notifies the student if he or she is eligible for a Federal Pell Grant and provides the student's EFC.

FSA Handbook Federal Pell Grant Program

Federal Pell Grants are direct grants awarded through participating institutions to students with financial need who have not received their first bachelor's degree or who are enrolled in certain post baccalaureate programs that lead to teacher certification or licensure. Participating institutions either credit the Federal Pell Grant funds to the student's school account, pay the student directly (usually by check) or combine these methods. Students must be paid at least once per term (semester, trimester, or quarter); schools that do not use formally defined terms must pay the student at least twice per academic year

Eligibility:
Who May Apply: (by category) Individuals

Who May Apply: (specifically) Undergraduate and vocational students enrolled or accepted for enrollment in participating schools may apply.
