SCHOLARSHIPS
According to NPR, Minority students receive only 28 percent of all scholarships compared to their white counterparts, that receive 73 percent. We aim to change this static by providing one million dollars in scholarships by 2026. One of the main factors when deciding to go to college, especially an HBCU, is a lack of finical resources.
Here you will find scholarships that are currently available. Soon we will be adding our very own scholarships to this page. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to learn about our HBCUs FIRST scholarships.
