Courage to Grow Scholarship

Growing Success through Courage and Education

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.

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.

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.
