Barbara Jordan Health Scholars Program
Hello, My name is Matthew Shunkamolah. I am currently recruiting for Native Americans to apply for the Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program. The program combines politics and Health issues. The program has given me the task of contacting schools and programs with a heavy Native American population to encourage American Indian students to apply. This program is very competitive and very prestigious but is under represented by Native students. They pick only 15 students a year from all ethnic groups. But the number of Native American applicants has not been the greatest. The program feels that since Native Health is a unique issue that must be addressed they would like to see more Native American students apply to the program. The program is a 9 week congressional internship based at Howard University in Washington DC. It is open to recent or soon to be graduates. All science and/or political science or related majors are encouraged to apply. I am more than willing to help any student with the application process and to speak with them if t hey have any questions about the program itself and what goes on. All Information can be obtained on the web at www.kff.org/about/jordanscholars.cfm Anyone with questions can e-mail me at mshunkam@nmsu.edu or at 505-571-8598. If you e-mail me please type "bjscholar" in the subject line.
