Scholarships will be in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. See the <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/bs-md-community-college-grant-20120723,0,2027012.story">Baltimore Sun article</a> for more information on how the National Science Foundation is helping us help students do more, and keep an eye on <a href="http://www.bccc.edu/Page/807">our current headlines</a> to learn more information about these scholarships. </span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Of course, this is only building upon what Baltimore City Community College has already done to further opportunities in the STEM fields. There are already <a href="http://www.bccc.edu//site/Default.aspx?PageID=256">opportunities for BCCC students at the Life Science Institute at the University of Maryland BioPark</a>. However, one thing is clear: community colleges are on the forefront of training for tomorrow's world.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">And we are here for you.</span></div>Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:28:09 GMThttp://www.bccc.edu/site/Default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=113&PageID=955&ViewID=97313d1d-a9cf-4646-a5a5-0c355fbac071&FlexDataID=1432<div></div><div>Baltimore City Community College has programs geared towards valuable credentials that employers need, and programs in fields in which employers need more and more people: everything from construction and weatherization technologies to biotechnology and nursing training. <br /> </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Community colleges such as BCCC are on the front lines of both traditional education (that is, develop and apply knowledge) and workforce training (connecting them to work), as quickly and legitimately as possible. </div><div>&nbsp;</div>That&#8217;s why we may be witnessing a revolution in American education: For few institutions are as closely aligned with the realities of America&#8217;s middle class (the most likely constituents of a community college) or the need to innovate ways to help them through the economic minefield in which they find themselves. Community colleges offer affordable tuition. Their campuses accommodate commuters and meet the needs of online students working from home. They attract a good number of international students. And they&#8217;re as diverse as ever. <br /><br />We may have a program to suit your needs. So go ahead, take a look! <br /><br /><div></div>Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:53:20 GMT
