Our 7th Annual Minority Day will be held on Friday, November 6, 2009 from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. Check-in starts at 9:00 am in the Cochran Hall Ballroom. This program aspires to increase minority high school juniors' and seniors' awareness in applying and attending college. This year, high school seniors will have an opportunity to interview for a Minority Day Scholarship ranging from $250.00 to $500.00. There is a section on the Minority Day application that the student will need to complete if they are interested in interviewing for the Minority Day Scholarship. In addition, students will gain knowledge pertaining to academic offerings, scholarship opportunities, and campus resources available at MUW.
We would thoroughly appreciate it if you would RSVP for Minority Day by Friday, October 23, 2009. Only 100 students will be considered and selected to attend Minority Day. In order to be considered for participation in Minority Day, students must submit a complete registration packet. Students who register for Minority Day will be selected based on ACT/SAT score, GPA, interest in attending MUW, and response to the essay question. Students selected to attend Minority Day will receive a confirmation via phone or email informing them of their acceptance to participate in Minority Day on or before October 28, 2009. There will be NO ONSITE REGISTRATION.
