Who Can Apply:
- African American and Native American people in the United States have historically been treated inequitably, which has produced a racial wealth gap.
- Due to the limited financial resources of many Native American and African American families, it can be difficult to send their kids to college. The inaccessibility of college closes off many career opportunities for underrepresented students, which perpetuates the wealth gap.
- This scholarship seeks to support underserved students with financial limitations who want to attend an accredited college, university or trade school.
- Any African American or Native American high school senior or undergraduate student in Pennsylvania with at least a 2.75 GPA, financial need and community service experience may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but those in Allegheny County or Beaver County are preferred.
Submission: Choose one of the following to write about:
- Are you working to address an important social issue? If so, please elaborate on that.
- What is your favorite book? Why was it memorable and/or how did it affect your life?
- Describe a person or experience that impacted your life and the impactful result.
