Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the recent steps taken to curtail affirmative action and equal opportunity programs, the financial aid picture for African, Asian, Hispanic, and Native Americans has never looked brighter. Currently, billions of dollars are available, just for minorities. Don't miss out! Schlachter and Weber show you when, where, and how to get your share of this money in four new titles, each one focusing on a different ethnic group: Financial Aid for African Americans Financial Aid for Asian Americans Financial Aid for Hispanic Americans Financial Aid for Native Americans Each of these titles is crammed with details about scholarships, fellowships, grants, loans, awards, prizes, and internships set aside just for members of specific minority group members. Detailed program descriptions make it easy to determine if a funding opportunity is right for you: contact information (address, telephone, toll-free and fax numbers, e-mail, and web site), purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline dates. Plus, in each volume, you'll find an annotated bibliography of key directories that identify even more financial aid opportunities and a set of indexes that let you search the directory listings by program title, sponsoring organizations, residency, tenability, subject, and application deadline. No other source offers the coverage provided by these titles. That's why Reference Books Bulletin called these directories landmark resources and selected them as the Editor's Choice. Each of the volumes in this set can be ordered separately

Download or read book Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.

Download or read book Increasing employment rates for ethnic minorities written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant gap between the employment rates of the ethnic minority and general populations - currently 14.2 percentage points. This gap costs the economy some £8.6 billion annually. During the last ten years there has been a slow but steady reduction of 2.8 percentage points in the gap. The Department for Work and Pensions (the Department) is responsible for helping people into employment, largely through a range of services provided by Jobcentre Plus offices across the country. It has a Public Service Agreement target to reduce significantly the ethnic minority employment gap over the three years to spring 2008. The Department is on course to meet this target. There have been a number of projects and programmes specifically targeted at ethnic minorities - ethnic minority outreach, ethnic minority flexible fund, specialist employment advisers, fair cities, partners outreach for ethnic minorities - as well as those aimed at the wider disadvantaged community, including the deprived areas fund and the city strategy. The NAO has not assessed the strategy in purely value for money terms, as there are wider benefits and social justice associated with success in this area. The Department has made progress, but the NAO believes greater continuity would have achieved more. A recent move away from a direct focus on ethnic minorities towards wider disadvantaged groups carries the risk that ethic minorities will not get the help that they need to gain employment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe stands on the brink of a new era of diversity and immigration. Although many Europeans would prefer to ignore this fact, the signs are everywhere. Societies and politics are being irrevocably changed by their encounters with migrants, both recent and settled. This book pinpoints the specific trends and emerging patterns that allow us to understand what these changes mean for the future of Europe. On the ground level, institutions like schools and local governments have charted unique courses for dealing with diversity. And from above, the institutions of Brussels become ever more important for regulating the big picture. The passage of the Lisbon Treaty means that common EU rules on immigration will now be easier to achieve (and more likely). But what exact role is played by the institutions of the EU in Brussels, and how does this vary across policy areas? How are Europeans on all levels dealing with the sensitive questions raised by Islam, and how are migrants and minorities dealing with the hostility and xenophobia they routinely encounter? And finally, how have the experiences of different European countries in integrating their immigrants and minorities changed our comparative understanding of race, ethnicity and citizenship? These three sets of issues—EU-level regulations, Islam and Xenophobia, and comparative integration policy—are the topics that motivate and structure this book. Noted experts on each topic offer the latest research findings, which collectively advance our understanding of how Europe will deal with diversity in the 21st Century.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
