A final compilation with updated due dates.
---
This is an up-to-date (as of October 2009) list of FALL diversity overnight programs offering free transportation/room/board. Open to ALANA students (including Asians) unless otherwise noted. I've provided contact information only for confirmed '09 programs.
Sources: Thanks to entomom and
Diversity weekend opportunities for the research jumping-off point. I also referenced a PDF file called "multicultural-students" listing '06 programs, found somewhere through Google and saved to my computer.
If you have updated information on the schools marked ?, please let me know. I will try to keep this updated.
