Who Can Apply:
- Student loan debt stands in the way of countless students, making it difficult for them to pursue college and further their goals.
- The fear of debt leads many students to give up on their college dreams, to not attend the school of their dreams, to change their major, or to forgo pursuing a graduate degree. Debt can last for years or decades, making it difficult for graduates to purchase a home, plan for families, or contribute to their retirement.
- This scholarship seeks to support students by reducing the financial burden associated with higher education and helping them establish generational wealth.
- Any African American female undergraduate student pursuing a two- or four-year degree with at least a 2.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if she is a single mother.
