African-American Women in Computer Science Grant
Florida A & M University is providing an outstanding opportunity for Black women entering college in the fall of 2009. It is designed to address their absence in the field of computer technology.

Saying hi is good enough. Thank you I very much appreciate you taking the time to do that. Our site ranking keeps increasing immeasurably each month so that does at least give me some indication that we do have more than the 3 readers I once believed (my mom included,
. And every week I get at least one request via the contact form for either someone needing help launching their wild and crazy business venture or wanting to be interviewed. Would love to see more inquiries from females tho…so far all guys have made inquiries. Love them just the same!
Send us some updates on your grants and such that you run across and let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.
cheers.
