Baltimore City Community College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Baltimore City Community College dates its origins to the Baltimore Junior College, founded as part of the Baltimore City Public School System in 1947 to provide post-high school education for returning World War II veterans and was the inspiration of Dr. Harry Bard. It was one of the earliest examples of the growing "junior college" movement which began at the beginning of the century and has resulted in the growth of present-day "community colleges" all across America, serving the intermediate needs between high schools and large colleges and universities. It was located on the third floor of the Baltimore City College, third oldest public high school in America located at 33rd Street and The Alameda in the northeast city which was a specialized academic magnet school for the arts, humanities and social sciences.

By 1959 it had relocated to a park-like campus in the northwest city along Liberty Heights Avenue. In 1967, the College was renamed the Community College of Baltimore and restructured as an independent institution of the City of Baltimore government. By the middle of the 1970s, Dr. Bard's ideal of an additional campus in the revitalized downtown Inner Harbor was realized with the construction of two buildings along East Lombard Street named the Bard and Lockwood Buildings.

In the 1980s City and State leaders recognized that shrinking City resources made it difficult for the City to operate a quality institution of higher education. On July 1, 1990, the Maryland General Assembly created a new institution, New Community College of Baltimore, funded by the State of Maryland. The College was granted permanent status in 1992 and renamed Baltimore City Community College. In 1997, BCCC celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Baltimore City Community College primarily serves the residents and business community of Baltimore, BCCC offers educational opportunities on all levels to the citizens of Baltimore and the State of Maryland that enables students to obtain good jobs, transfer to four-year colleges, or take short-term training to upgrade their skills or acquire new ones.

Question: Government Grants...Too Good 2 Be True?

I just graduated from dental assisting school in Pennsylvania, and my boyfriend got a great job offer because my dad is the president of a union for this company. This company is in Maryland, and hes making great money, so me and him decided to move to Maryland to be closer to his job. His paycheck is good but it covers our bills and thats about it. We are pretty much struggeling to put groceries in our fridge and gas in my car. I dont want to get a job as a dental assistant, because I want to pursue it even farther as a dental hygienist. I was thinking about going to Baltimore City Community College for it, but im broke as a joke! Someone told me about www.mygovernmentresources.com and you fill out a questionnaire and a rep calls or emails you with grants you are eligiable for. Does anybody know if this is legit or true? I would love to have extra money that I dont need to pay back, because I really want to go back to school. Thanks!

IGNORE that. That's a scam You may also want to read the warnings FTC has issued against these "grant" companies: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/03/grantresources.htm http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.htm Here is also one of the warnings issued by the Better Business Bureau http://www.concord.bbb.org/tips_timesharescams.html You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes. Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.
