North Carolina Central University does not have a lacrosse team.

Has NCCU ever had a demand for a lacrosse team? Blame Duke!

Students often cannot check out books from the main library, which is being renovated after a mold infestation.

Lack of funds or bad management? Blame Duke!

The business school is fighting to regain accreditation.

Lack of funds or bad management? Blame Duke!

Sixty percent of the students receive need-based financial aid.

Preached socialism from the pulpit, the classroom, the politician's podium. Blame Duke!

Eighty-one percent are black.

A large afro-centric curriculum. Blame Duke!

Only 28 percent graduate after four years.

Expecting miracles of scholarship from those ill-prepared for the course load. Blame Duke!

At least $121 million in state spending in the last six years has brought new law and science buildings and dormitories, and more projects are planned.

20 million a year and still no lacrosse team, a musty, dysfunctional library, decertified business program, massive financial aid, 81 % of one color, of which only 28% graduate. Blame Duke!

Nuff' said.

If we are going to label the students at NCCU (a historically Black college) as hardworking and the Duke Students as not.

Then, let's get the whole story out:

There are diversity Fellowships
Diversity scholarships
Diversity Grants
Minority Scholarships
Diversity Programs
Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) Scholarships
Diversity Committees
Diversity Leadership programs
Diversity Courses
Diversity Departments
Minority Studies
Multiculural Scholarships
There's an Office of Minority Empowerment
Diversity Initiatives
Office of Multcultural Life
The Positive Black Woman Scholarship
Understanding the Black Family Scholarship
African American Male Initiative (AAMI)

Here's one, you just have to be non-Caucasian: (Caucasians need not apply)

To be eligible, you must:

* Attend an accredited U.S. college or university
* Have minority student status (non-Caucasian)

Another one is very selective: Must be a Black male graduating high school senior

. Free Ride, Plus expenses, here you go:
/// Full Medical Scholarships for African Americans ///

Please pass this on to any African American who may be interested in a free medical degree. Washington University in St. Louis, the Medical School, now ranked number 2 (along with Baltimore's John's Hopkins University Medical School) has scholarships to award to bright black Americans. The students that are chosen will be awarded full tuition for 4 yrs - $30,000.00 per year - PLUS $2,500.00 stipend. AND The University pays all travel and interview expenses.

There's everything from an Oprah Scholarship to a (Disgraced) Ron Brown Minority Scholarship,
and one web-site has 200 different Minority scholarships

There's even a diversity scholarship that's charter is "to ensure a Diverse Library workforce" !

Good Post.

Here's another one for you (after reading all the minority scholarship info).

Minority students don't read as much, because there's not enough Black Librarians. BLAME DUKE!

Thank God we have the scholarship to "ensure a diverse Library workforce" That pressing issue keeps me up at Night!
