Who Can Apply:
- College costs are on the rise, making higher education inaccessible to many students without significant financial resources. Due to the racial wealth gap, BIPOC students are often in particular need of support in order to pay for college.
- While tuition and books are significant expenses, other costs such as dorm materials, transportation, and meals can also pose challenges. Providing assistance to those who need it not only eases the financial strain on students but also celebrates and encourages the rich cultural diversity that strengthens our educational institutions and society as a whole.
- This scholarship aims to alleviate the often-overlooked financial burdens of college life so underserved students can achieve their dreams.
- Any BIPOC high school senior who has attended and engaged with the annual Diversity University summit and will go to a higher education institution in the upcoming school year may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, upload a screenshot showing proof of attendance at a Diversity University summit and a picture of yourself in your new institution’s merchandise or a graduation photo.
Deadline: April 11, 2025
