Dear Leon,

The National Society of Black 
Physicists<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121530/0/> 
(NSBP) and the IT company 
ScholarFind<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121531/0/> 
have developed web services whereby students as well as graduate and 
internship programs can extend their options for admissions and recruiting.

These services are available to all physics and astronomy students, and we 
invite all your majors to do so.

Using these services your students can upload to a database all the 
essential elements of a graduate 
school<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121534/0/> or 
internship<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121533/0/> 
application including academic history, transcripts (as PDF copies), GRE 
scores, work/internship history and a personal statement (as a PDF). Blind 
letters of recommendation can also be uploaded by the writers themselves.

Your graduate and REU programs can subscribe to these respective 
databases.  And from there you can contact students with invitations to a 
campus visit, or with offers of admissions and financial aid.

These services lower one of the barriers to applying to graduate school 
and internship programs by providing an opportunity for students to put 
their credentials in front of multiple programs at multiple institutions 
with a single "application"(*<x-msg://15/#application>).  At the same time 
programs can more effectively recruit students that may not otherwise 
apply to their programs.

Please forward this message to your faculty/staff colleagues, especially 
to those involved with student advising, and most importantly please 
encourage your students to use these important career services.

For more information visit the graduate school service website at 
http://www.gradapps.nsbp.org<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121534/0/>
 where there is an FAQ 
page<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121535/0/>.  For the 
internship site visit 
http://www.reuapps.nsbp.org<http://mk1.netatlantic.com/t/12580149/213478775/121533/0/>.
   You can also contact NSBP Headquarters at career services nsbp

or ScholarFind customer service at customer service scholarfind

Sincerely,

 The team at ScholarFind and NSBP


 (*) The service makes it clear to students that they will still have to 
complete institutional admissions and financial aid applications.  But 
this service is a tool for programs and students to identify one another 
as possible opportunities.
