The awards, sponsored by Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, Pa., near Philadelphia, carry with them $7,500 cash prizes. Since the awards program began in 1977, Freedom Foundation, one of the country’s leading education organiza tions, has awarded more than $1.3 mil lion in prizes. Many of the awards over the years have gone to high school and college teachers who have developed innovative free-enterprise education programs for African American, His panic, and other minority sludents. This year’s awards are no exception. One award-winning effort, the Black Enterprise Summer Training (BEST) program , was created by Stella Nkomo,Robert Homaday, and Ben Nunnally of the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, professors of man agement in the university’s College of Business. The BEST program places black students as “ interns” and “ fel lows” with successful black business- owners in the area who are members of the Charlotte Business League. Begun last year, the program will place 15 interns this summer. The purpose, say Nkomo, Homaday, and Nunnally - who will share one of the $7,500 Leavey Award prizes -- is to build a “ founda tion of a potent network of outstanding black university graduates and success ful black entrepreneurs.” A second award-winning program being honored this year was created by Prof. Ibrahim M. Salama of South Caro lina State College in Orangeburg. A native of Egypt, Professor Salama also is being honored for developing a spe cial program to teach minority students about the benefits of the American pri vate-enterprise system. As part his program, called “ Project Turning Point,” 14 business leaders -- ranging from operational-level to corporate CEOs - were recruited to serve as vis iting professors at South Carolina Slate. Because of their experiences with the program, a number of Professor Salama’s students arc now considering careers business, some even contemplating starting their own businesses. « Î National Newspaper Association convenes regional meeting in Oakland Clark Schenkenberger - 226-2721 Ten Rahm - 249-8215 Pioneer Courthouse Square 7:30 am Sat.
