Students Seeking Education by Experiencing Academic America (S.E.A.)

an Houston, Texas based mentoring program for high school students, students at risk, and college bound students who want to attend an Historically Black College / University. (HBCU).

S.E.A will post a scholarship list for minority students each day. If you are a high school senior, junior, or an transferring college student, these scholarships are for you. FREE MONEY! We all know through life there is nothing Free, you have to apply to receive this money. Your cost is time. The time it takes to fill out the scholarship application.. Look for the S.E.A. blog each day, highlighting a new scholarship listing 2010 / 2011.

Pros and Cons of Historically Black Colleges & Universities?

Question: Is there anything wrong with attending a Historically Black college/university? Will my degree be looked upon differently?

Depending on your current preferences and your goals in life, choosing a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) could turn out to be a big plus. For instance, if you decide to apply to graduate school, you may find that admission officials are especially interested in you because of your *atypical undergraduate experience. Most grad school admission committees seek students who come from a range of undergraduate backgrounds, so the fact that you attended an HBCU might help you stand out in the crowd.

Also, there are a number of alumni associations that welcome graduates from all HBCU’s, which can be a great way to take advantage of social and career networking opportunities once you’re out of college. Sure, individual colleges and universities of all sorts usually have their own alumni groups, and many of these are also great ways to make and maintain connections, but as a member of the broader community of HBCU alums, your network will be even wider.

Keep in mind that there are some HBCU’s (e.g. Spelman and Morehouse colleges, Howard University) that are quite renowned and draw their students from across the country and beyond. Other HBCU’s enroll mostly local or regional students and are not so well known–or as academically challenging. So, depending on where you *matriculate, you can expect that some people will nod with understanding and approval or simply stare at you blankly when you provide your college’s name. Of course, this is true whether you attend an HBCU or not … some schools are familiar to many; others are obscure.

As with most colleges, too, there are pros and cons to attending an HBCU. I’ve known some students who missed the *racial diversity that they had in high school so they transferred out of an HBCU, but there are also many who *relished the support that an HBCU provided. I’ve also known African-American students who attended primarily white high schools and valued the chance that an HBCU provided to make strong ties with others who shared their own racial background.

So, the short answer to your question is that there is definitely nothing “wrong” with attending any Historically Black College or University. But, as with every college choice, the key is to find a school that seems to be the right fit for you, and even among the 100+ HBCU’s there is a lot of variety, so choose wisely.

What Is Your Ideal College?

Can you *envision your ideal college: what it will look like, what your fellow students will be like, and the academic and social experiences you hope to have? Whether you have a crystal clear image or no idea at all, giving it some careful thought is essential.

The "Perfect" Fit

Your ideal college must be, above all else, a place where you can succeed. When students find such a place, many describe it as a school that "fits," feels like "home," or challenges them to become the person they want to be. What are the opportunities for success that might give you such feelings? The chance to earn high grades? To live in surroundings that suit you? To make lasting friendships? To earn a marketable degree? To land a good job after graduation or get into a top-notch graduate school? A combination of these?

The colleges on your final list should meet your top requirements. But keep in mind that the perfect college probably does not exist. Each college is a complex mix of qualities. Your final choice may not perfectly meet your needs, but it might be perfectly wonderful anyway.

• Invite people you feel either are interested in that type of network or would bring value to the space.
• Find some great youtube videos on your network topic to add good content fast without having to create it.
• Recommend websites or articles you think your members should read.
• Start a discussion asking members to share their sites (folks like shameless self promotion and good conversation)
• Start small similar groups on bigger networks like BBWO to attract members and then invite them to your space.
• Create a Facebook fanpage for your network.

What Does It Take to Get a Scholarship?

Because there are millions of scholarships available, you’re almost guaranteed to fit eligibility requirements. We have hundreds of scholarships worth millions of dollars that are available to just about anyone. Many students assume that they have to be brilliant, or athletically talented, or gifted musically, to earn a scholarship for college. What they don’t realize is that sometimes they just need to be *persistent!

Be persistent in getting good grades. Many colleges award scholarships to students with significant financial need in the accepted applicant group — a grant that you don’t need to repay, just for making the cut and getting admitted!

Good grades won’t hurt if you hope to get a scholarship even if your family doesn’t demonstrate financial need. When scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit, without regard for need, students who have worked hard and achieved results in high school will be the winners.

You should also be persistent in seeking out other scholarship sources. Sometimes all it takes to get a scholarship is to find out who in your area is offering them: your church, your employer, your parents’ employers, local civic organizations. You’ll just need to fill out any required applications or interviews on time in order to be considered. http://edu.theapple.com

• Become aware of what you're doing. Comparing is usually done without you even really thinking about it. The solution? Watch out for those thoughts. If you're on the lookout for them for a few days, they'll be easier to recognize, and soon, it will be hard not to notice them.
• Stop. When you see that you're comparing, take a moment, and realize what you're doing. Don't criticize yourself or feel bad-- simply recognize the thought and gently alter your concentration.
• Recognize your blessings. You'll be much better off if you focus on the things you already have-- shelter and food, the people in your life and the fact that you're still breathing!
• Focus on your skills and talents. That doesn't mean boast and brag, but you should feel good about them and use them to your best advantage.
• Be okay with imperfection. Realize you aren't perfect, and you never will be. Of course, you should always strive for excellence, but don't think you'll be the "perfect person." Your flaws make you you so you're already perfect.
• Don't belittle others. At times, we criticize other people to make ourselves feel and look better. Doing this, however, is damaging, and in the end, it hurts you, too. How about encouraging someone instead?
• Concentrate on your journey. Regardless of what society thinks and portrays, life isn't a competition-- it's a journey, and you should only be concerned with yours.
• Embrace having enough. By wanting what the Jones's have, you won't see that you have everything you need. Realize that even if you only have the basics and people who love you, you are blessed.

( ACT )

The Act (American College Testing Assessment) assess a student's knowledge in English, Math, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences. The test is administered by the American College Testing Program and it consists of four tests 35-40 minutes long.

Specifically, the American College Test was created to test college bound students cumulative knowledge in four different subjects: English, Mathematics, Reading and Science Reasoning. This multiple choice based test, which is usually administered in the south, is known for testing a student’s ability to recall formulas and fundamentals from the aforementioned subjects as well as a student’s ability to solve graphs. Students are graded on a scale of one (lowest) to thirty-six (highest) in each of these four categories. The four sub-scores recorded from these four respective topics are then averaged together for a composite score that is looked at upon universities for various purposes such as acceptance, scholarship qualification and then eventually class placement. This assessment does not penalize students for having incorrect answers as only correct answers affect the scoring. According to Mary Beth Marklein of USA Today, the national composite test score average in 2004 was 20.9, as a record number of test takers (1.2 million) were recorded. She also reported that in 2004, students tested higher in the reading section of the assessment (21.3), despite rants that the allotted time for this portion of the test is too short. The lower composite test scores throughout the years have created many jobs in preparing for the ACT. Test centers have been developed nationwide, and companies such as *Kaplan offer strategies to taking the ACT along with practice tests (which are actual ACT tests administered throughout the years). According to the ACT official website, the test is given on six dates a year, at hundreds of locations, and students can take the test as many times as they desire, as the highest score is the only looked at determining acceptance. The traditional format of the ACT will now feature a writing assessment starting in October 2005 that tests students abilities to write a short essay.
