BILL GATES SCHOLARSHIP FOR LOW-INCOME MINORITY STUDENTS
Fairfax, VA (BlackNews.com) — The Gates Millennium Scholarship Program, funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was established to provide outstanding low income minority students with an opportunity to complete an undergraduate college education in any discipline area of interest.
Continuing scholars may request funding for a graduate degree program in one of the following discipline areas: education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or science.
In addition to increasing access to higher education for these underrepresented groups, GMS also provides leadership training.

Bill Gates Scholarship for Low-Income Minority Students.
Dear Mr. Gates,
My name is Adiel Paulin (a hispanic), I am senior in highschool, and I want to attend Southern Adventist Univesity(which is in Tennessee). I am willing to be a doctor some day, and I am planning to earn my four-year degree in Southern. And I am planning to finnish my medical degree in another college. Since I was little, I wanted to become a doctor because I always had the desire to help people. There aren’t many doctors in hospitals to aid people, so I am willing to take this opportunity because to serve this country with my scientific knowledge.
Sincerely yours,
Adiel Paulin
