Are there any scholarship awards specifically earmarked for say, minority students, women, or other underrepresented constituencies?
We do have scholarships which have among their criteria, a preference for women or minorities or folks from New Jersey, as I mentioned. We also have an Office of Women & Minorities in Business, which has been around for a year and a half now. Angela Noble and her staff are actively working to secure funding on a variety of levels, not just scholarships. [They provide] a variety of resources for both women and minorities. It has [been] a tremendous success. Q: Another very appealing financing option is the Park Fellowship Program. What are the prerequisites to becoming a Park Fellow? A: Park Fellowships are [geared to identify] potential leaders, reward them with significant financial support, and, in return, we expect that while they are a student, they will continue to develop their leadership abilities and experiences to the benefit of the school and the students here. [Applicants are required to write] an additional essay to apply. The Park Fellowships are limited to U.S. citizens.
