**************************

The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Howard University launched the
Barbara Jordan Congressional Scholars Program to honor the legacy of former
Kaiser Trustee and Congresswoman, Barbara Jordan, by creating opportunities
for minority students in health policy and eventually, increasing the
numbers
of minority health policy professionals.  The program continues Barbara
Jordan's commitment to championing the causes of the poor and disadvantaged
by annually providing 10 talented college students from underprivileged
backgrounds the opportunity to work in a congressional office with major
health policy responsibilities.  The Scholars will gain exposure to health
policy issues and firsthand understanding of how the federal government
works.  Seminars, lectures, and field trips will augment the work
experiences
of the Scholars.

Scholars will receive: A stipend of $1,500 upon completion of the program A
daily expense allowance (meals and local transportation)
Transportation/airfare to and from Washington, D. C. Lodging at Howard
University in Washington, D. C. Additional information is available at
