Inspiration to Pursue Graduate School

January 18th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

According to Newswire Today, GradPortal.org’s minority higher education college student blog has the power to inspire minorities to apply to graduate school. Only 17% of all current graduate students belong to an under-represented group, according to the U.S. Department of Education. But a minority higher education college student blog is looking to change all that. GradPortal.org, the only graduate school directory focused on helping under-represented groups find programs and financial aid, has created a minority higher education college student blog that chronicles the experiences of minority students in the process of earning a graduate degree.
The purpose of this minority higher education college student blog is to show members of minorities (which includes race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) that it is possible to earn a graduate degree as part of an under-represented group. The site is entirely free to use, and anyone can read the posts and comment on them, creating a dialogue with the students and becoming a part of their journey. Click here to read more.
