College Scholarships for Students of Color!! by America's Promise Alliance Dropout Prevention
Posted on: 04/06/09 From: Chrystal Morris
List of Donating Organizations
College Funding Is Available but Awareness is Lacking!
Money is being returned to organizations that have set aside funds for scholarships to minority students. Why? The number of applications received by donating foundations/organizations is extraordinarily low. There are at least 51 organizations dedicated to helping students of color pay for college tuition, however not many people know about them.
Attached is a listing of the 51 organizations and their web site links. Please feel free to share this information with high school principles, counselors, organizations that serve students, community and family members and your own personal network. This is a wonderful opportunity to help students who aspire to attend college, but believe they cannot because of the lack of funding. Let's do everything we can to get this information out to the community so that students can get the education they so deserve!!Sponsored by: America's Promise Alliance

FREE Arthritis Information for Hispanic Seniors
Arthritis is one of the most common diseases in the U.S., affecting millions of adults and half of all people age 65 and older. Although there is no cure for most forms of arthritis, treatment can help patients manage their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life. The choice of treatment depends on the type of arthritis, the severity of symptoms, the patient's general health, and other factors.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is offering a free fact sheet in Spanish about treatments for the most common forms of arthritis -- osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. "Consejos Sobre la Artritis"
To order copies of "Consejos Sobre la Artritis", call 1-800-222-2225 toll free. The NIA Information Center is open weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. eastern time or go to our Web site at www.niapublications.org
