Who Can Apply: The inaugural application will open during the 2018-2019 academic year, with annual applications thereafter through the 2038-2039 academic year. Applicants for the program must meet the following criteria:

  1. Be enrolled full-time as a rising senior at any accredited public or private four-year historically black college or university (HBCU).
  2. Possess a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale as verified through submission of a current transcript.
  3. Demonstrate a commitment to community service.
  4. Have a demonstrated, unmet financial need as verified by their college or university.
  5. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (“FAFSA”) form.

Submission:

    • In 500-700 words, please discuss the impact Frederick Douglass had on society and how his legacy inspires you in today’s world.

(The first requires the applicant to assess self-awareness, leadership and community involvement; the second requires the applicant to address the impact Frederick Douglass had on society in the 19th century, and its relevance today as our nation continues to fight for equality.)
