Who Can Apply:
- Historically Black Colleges and Universities offer incredible opportunities for minority students to grow and complete their education in supportive and inclusive spaces.
- HBCUs often offer more affordable tuition, yet expenses can still be overwhelming for many students with limited financial resources. Student debt is a great hurdle, especially for students of color who often come from lower-income families or are breaking cycles of poverty. Without a safety net or financial aid, many students are hesitant to take out loans in order to achieve their dreams.
- This scholarship seeks to support underserved students as they navigate the world of higher education so they can afford to complete their degrees.
- Any underrepresented minority high school or undergraduate student attending an HBCU who has at least a 2.5 GPA and is a New Jersey or Pennsylvania resident may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, tell us how your experience living in New Jersey or Pennsylvania has affected your views, relationships, and career goals.
