Who Can Apply:
- Individuals growing up in underprivileged environments often do not think that college is an option because of financial constraints or other barriers.
- From enduring physical or verbal abuse to experiencing homelessness to living in an environment where the path toward crime and drugs is more likely than higher education, it can be difficult for students to break the barriers they face. College can be a life-changing opportunity that can break cycles of generational poverty and create a better future.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds but have big dreams of pursuing higher education.
- Any African American undergraduate student at an HBCU who is a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
