Sholarship Opportunity- Full Tuition- MAWH

Spread the word

I am writing to you in hopes that you can help spread the word about
this one-of-a-kind scholarship opportunity for a student to develop
leadership in African American women's health.

Despite our efforts to publicize the full-tuition scholarship, we have
gotten literally only one application for this year, so we are
reaching out to our networks, including our advisory board members, to
spread the word. It's such a valuable opportunity for the right
person, it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Scholarship to Build Leadership in the Field of African American Women's Health
The Master of Arts in Women's Health (MAWH) program at Suffolk
University (Boston) is pleased to offer a competitive, annual, full
tuition scholarship to a student committed to working in the field of
Black women's health. Funded by the Suffolk University College of Arts
and Sciences, this scholarship is designed to develop leadership in an
area that will contribute to the health and well-being of African
American women and girls.

By virtually every marker of health and health care status, African
American women suffer unjustly. African American women are less likely
than white women to have health insurance and are more likely to be
dependent upon the political vagaries of Medicaid policies. African
American women confront particularly high rates of cervical cancer,
diabetes, hypertension, breast cancer, HIV/AIDS infection, and
maternal mortality. For these patterns to change:

Government policies need to redress longstanding racial disparities in
health care access.
Medical institutions need to develop programs that improve patient
care for Black women.
Health care providers need to cultivate communication skills that show
respect for the strengths and diversity of Black women and that
acknowledge financial limitations that may interfere with health
maintenance.
Community leaders need to work towards building environments that are
safe and healthy for Black women and their families.
Educators need to address how African American women can make the
healthy choices that facilitate healthy minds and bodies.
African American women need training in self-care and self-advocacy.

The MAWH Scholarship to Build Leadership in the Field of African
American Women's Health aims to train gifted and dedicated students to
work effectively in all of these arenas.

To apply for the Scholarship please submit by no later than April 15:

(1)The standard application materials required for the MAWH; to view,
click here.

(2) A substantive essay addressing: (a) What are the core health
issues facing Black women? (b) How did you come to develop an interest
in Black women's health? (c) What do you hope to learn in the MAWH
program that will help you develop as a leader in the field of Black
women's health? (d) What does being a leader in the field of Black
women's health mean to you? (e) Describe your ideal job in this field!

Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation Fellowships

Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Corporate Advisory Council wanted to share with you a few great fellowship opportunities being offered by the CBC Foundation. Please feel free to share these with your family and friends who may have students interested in public service careers. The deadline for applying is April 16, 2009.

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) plays a very critical
role in preparing and equipping young policy professionals and emerging leaders
with the tools necessary for success in public service careers. Since 1976,
CBCF has offered opportunities for early to mid-level professionals to
work on Capitol Hill. Over 150 individuals have served as CBCF Congressional
Fellows and many now have full-time positions on Capitol Hill, with federal
agencies and in prominent public policy organizations. The foundation
of their success rests with a solid understanding of the public policy process.
CBCF provides a training ground to facilitate this understanding.

CBCF Congressional Fellows Program targets early-career policy professionals who have completed a professional or graduate degree and have a demonstrated interest in public policy and public service. CBCF Fellows work on Capitol Hill in the office of a Congressional Black Caucus member.

CBCF Louis Stokes Urban Health Policy Fellows Program offers health
policy professionals an invaluable, hands-on experience to be a part
of the federal health policy-making process. The primary goal of the program
is to increase the pool of qualified, minority health policy professionals who
will work to eliminate health disparities in the United States and abroad.
CBCF Louis Stokes Fellows work in a Congressional Black Caucus member's
office and on a congressional committee.
