Headway University Announces Accreditation Status, Offers 90 Percent Presidential Scholarship on Fully Accredited Online Degree Programs











Headway University


Dawson, TX (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Headway University, the world’s largest online university, announced that it has received accreditation from the International Accreditation Body for Online Education (IABOE). In celebration of this important milestone, the university is offering the opportunity for all students to receive a grant of up to 90 percent on their total online degree program fee.

Addressing the honorable guests and students at a local auditorium, the global head of public relations, Mr. Joseph Gomes, briefed about the two advancements that will create new avenues of recognition, acceptability and accessibility of quality education for students of Headway University.

“We are proud to be a part of a world renowned and accepted accreditation agency, IABOE,” said Gomes. “IABOE assures our students that Headway University successfully meets the criteria for conferring graduate, post graduate and doctorate degrees, and that they are making the very best choice by choosing Headway University for further education.”

According to Gomes, members of Headway University now enjoy certain benefits such as the disbursement of funds in terms of financial assistance to students having remarkable academic or professional experience under the Presidential Scholarship Program. Students can now acquire a grant of up to 90 percent on their total program fee, which means a straight saving of up to $ 14,000.

“It is so important for students worldwide to equip themselves with quality education because of the rising population and unemployment rate,” said the dean faculty of management sciences at Headway University. “According to the latest research by the American Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate for 2011 is 9.9 percent, which is expected to rise. In this tough competition only those people can survive who have the right skill set and the credentials that are preferred by top notch companies globally. This education not only prepares them to face the hardships of professional life but also teaches them to prepare attractive resumes and land into lucrative jobs.”

Certainly by offering presidential scholarships of up to 90 percent on total program fee along with globally recognized degrees, Headway University provides a bright opportunity to quality education seekers worldwide to get hold of the degrees of their interest and pave their way towards a brighter and better future.

Millennia Atlantic University to Host Official “Groundbreaking” Ceremony











Front exterior view of MAU’s new facility

Doral, FL (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Millennia Atlantic University (MAU), founded in 2005, has called a modest 8,000 sq. ft. ground-floor space situated in a strip mall home since 2007. The university is now prepared to relocate to an 11,000 sq. ft. facility and occupy three of the four floors at 3801 NW 97th Avenue in Doral.

On Monday, November 21st between 12:00pm and 2:00pm, MAU will host current and future students, faculty members, business leaders, the media, and city officials at an official groundbreaking event. Although the building is constructed, the interior renovations for the university began in late October. The event will signify the ceremonial driving of the “first nails” into the walls of the new facility to proudly display an MAU banner. Guests will be treated to a light lunch, and tours of the facility will be given by university president, Aristides Maza-Duerto, Ph.D. and Brett Moss, the architect and general contractor.

“This is an exciting time for Millennia,” said Aristides Maza-Duerto, president of MAU, “The University has outgrown its current facility, and the new building will allow us to better serve our students and faculty by tripling our available classroom space,” he continued.

The architect for the project, Moss Architecture + Design Group, is aiming for the commercial interior to be LEED certified “green energy efficient” by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBG).

During 2010, MAU was granted accreditation by the Accrediting Council for Independent Schools and Colleges (ACICS) to award associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Earlier this year the university was authorized by the Federal government to offer financial aid Title IV funding to those who qualify. The university will formally occupy the new space in Spring 2012.

Grant Crisis Q&A

How do I activate or accept my grants for San Diego State University?

No Comments 30 March 2012

Question by A.: How do I activate or accept my grants for San Diego State University?
I’ve activated my loans, but I want to know if I have to do the same thing for the grants I was offered? Do I have to accept them somehow, and if so, how do I do that? Or will my grants go straight to my school without me having to do anything. The awards I was offered are Federal Pell Grant, Cal Grant B, and State University Grant. I will be going to San Diego State University this fall.

Best answer:

Answer by Juanaquena
1. Pick up your telephone.

2. Call the San Diego State Univ. Financial Aid Office;
619-594-6323
Hours of service: Monday through Friday 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

3. Ask your questions of a financial aid counselor there.

I realize that talking with a real person, whereby you can have a conversation, may seem like a novel idea, but it DOES work very well. ;-)

What is the different between University Grant and Cal Grant?

No Comments 04 March 2012

Question by Steven L: What is the different between University Grant and Cal Grant?
I’m a transfer student. On the financial aid website of the University, I see that I’m eligible for University Grant, which will pay all of my tuition fee. However, I want to know that is University Grant considered as Cal Grant A, or it’s a different type of financial aid? So, if this year I’m qualified for Cal Grant, what will happened which the University Grant? Will the university take back the University Grant, and get the Cal Grant instead? Or will the just hold the Cal Grant until I need it?

Best answer:

Answer by Kristal S
As far as I know you can only get one or the other. I go to CSUSB and if you do not qualify for the Cal Grant they will give you a University Grant for the same amount, as long as your EFC is 0. If you do qualify for the Cal Grant they will not give you the University Grant, or if you EFC is higher than 0 they will not give you the University Grant.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Awards Florida A&M University $15 Million to Train a New Generation of Scientists

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Awards Florida A&M University $ 15 Million to Train a New Generation of Scientists











Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) October 29, 2011

Florida A&M University (FAMU) has been awarded an education and research grant totaling $ 15 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to meet the agency’s workforce needs in areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) that support NOAA’s mission. This is the largest single grant awarded in the history of the University.

“One of the highest criteria used to determine the quality of a university is the level of extramural funding and quality of research taking place by faculty and the funding obtained for them to conduct research on a regular basis,” said FAMU President James H. Ammons. “This announcement proves that Florida A&M University meets that standard of excellence.”

With 30 percent of the grant designated for scholarships, FAMU has partnered with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Delaware State University, Jackson State University, University of Texas at Brownsville, and Creighton University as well as three National Estuarine Research Reserves; Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary; the Gulf of Mexico Alliance; and, the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System. The grant will provide funds to support students as they pursue NOAA-relevant education, research, and training in environmental science. This grant supports enhancing environmental literacy from K-12 to the doctorate level.

“Our education efforts will focus on training and graduating under-represented minorities and utilize research as a vehicle to educate students, and develop skills relevant to the new economy,” said Michael Abazinge, professor and interim director of the School of the Environment who also serves as the principal investigator for this significant award.

The award will support the NOAA Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC), FAMU as the lead institution with its partners to focus on the following goals:


    Increasing the number of well-trained and highly qualified scientists and managers, particularly from under-represented minority groups entering the NOAA workforce and other resource management entities;
    Improving the scientific bases for coastal resource management and to develop tools and research products to characterize, evaluate, and forecast coastal and marine ecosystem responses to natural and human induced stressors; and,
    Facilitating community engagement related to the function and relevance of coastal ecosystems and the services they provide to society.

“The magnitude of this environmentally-focused research and training award is critical to our region, nation and to the world, as we develop best practices to govern us in all areas of our existence,” said K. Ken Redda, professor and acting vice president for research.

The ECSC was established in 2001 at FAMU through a national competitive process. This five-year award was made to a team of academic institutions led by FAMU. Through this award, ECSC will increase the number of scientists, particularly from under-represented minority groups in environmental, coastal, and oceanic sciences. Of the over 180 postsecondary student participants, ECSC has graduated 19 Ph.D. degree recipients, 41 master’s degree holders, and 56 bachelor’s degree recipients, since 2006. Graduates of ECSC, a part of FAMU’s School of the Environment, has a 100 percent placement rate. Eight are working as employees of NOAA, while others are employed by state or other governmental employees or as researchers in university settings.

“We’re committed to developing problem-solving skills as we engage undergraduate majors and graduate students from varied disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, math and other STEM areas needed to address and resolve environmental issues,” said Charles H. Jagoe, distinguished professor in the School of the Environment.

Those problem-solving skills are being put to use in the laboratories in the School of the Environment.

Currently, two students, LaTrisha Allen and Kali Farris, are conducting research under the leadership of Jagoe. Allen, a second-year Ph.D. research student, and Kali Farris, a third-year master’s degree student majoring in environmental science marine toxicology, are examining and conducting different analysis of several fish species to determine their exposure to the oil released in the BP Oil Spill.

This grant will also provide educational opportunities for students and teachers in the local K-12 school districts through summer workshops, Brain Bowl competitions and others enrichment activities. K-12 student participants will learn how environmental decisions impact the social and economic structure of their communities.

The Environmental Sciences Institute, which is currently referred to as the School of the Environment, was established in 1995 and became a school in 2011. It is one of several new innovative programs at Florida A&M University. The FAMU School of the Environment is a multidisciplinary unit that offers a wide range of services to students, governmental agencies, private sector companies, communities and other organizations.

The grant awarded to the School of the Environment is budgeted over the next five years, ending on June 30, 2016. For more information on NOAA’s Environmental Cooperative Science Center at Florida A&M University visit http://www.ecsc.famu.edu.
