October 2, 2015 Infinite Scholar Program (ISP) is hosting its sixth annual scholarship fair in North Carolina at North Carolina Central University. In 2014 North Carolina Central University allowed ISP to host our very first scholarship fair on their campus, where about 246 students attended, and over 3 million dollars in scholarships was awarded onsite, from the 25 colleges and universities in attendance, that day. In 2005, 2006, & 2007 Infinite Scholar Program hosted scholarship fairs in Jacksonville, North Carolina (NC) with the graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. February 16, 2006 Diane Mouskourie “Infinite ways to land money for college” wrote in The Daily News (Jacksonville, NC) about Infinite Scholar Program very first scholarship fair where 114 students received over $7 million in scholarships. (Mouskourie, February 16, 2006) In 2008 Infinite Scholar Program was moved to Fayetteville, NC with The 100 Black Men of Cape Fear Region. Each year CFNC was onboard to assist ISP in our efforts to bring onsite scholarships to North Carolina students. The CFNC official helped to educate parents and students alike in our FAFSA workshops. Parents were informed about the FAFSA process. This way while the students are interacting with the college or university admission director, the parents are being pulled away to learn how FAFSA works to their students advantage. Our campaign began on January 2, 2015, where we work to invite every college and university in NC, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia. Then ISP attract students to attend by free-registration @ [http://www.infinitescholar.org<http://www.infinitescholar.org/]www.infinitescholar.org<http:// www.infinitescholar.org/>. Students who register are informed about scholarship fairs in 25 different state locations. Students, specifically high school seniors, are asked to attend with the following information: -2.7 Grade Point Average or above -18 ACT or above/1600 SAT or above -3 Letters of Recommendation from a city, church, or state official -Evidence of talents, skills, and abilities in local philanthropy, school clubs or extra-curricular activities, and -A Letter stating “Why I want to attend college” NOTE: On October 2, 2015 students are asked to attend with a portfolio of all the above mentioned information and dressed to impress. It is recommended that students bring at least several portfolio’s, one for each college or university representative. The more competitive the portfolio, the better the student chances of receiving an on-site scholarship. Acceptance letters, partial scholarships, and consultation is also offered to students who do not qualify for a scholarship on that day. High school junior and sophomores are strongly advised to attend. Tivon Madison is Director of NC ISP and he is who you all can contact for any question concerning the scholarship fair, students who plan to attend, or anything pertaining Infinite Scholar Program.
