Johnnie M. Parris Public Service Scholarship (Deadline: April 25, 2023)

February 4, 2023 By The FinancialAidFinder Scholarship Team

Who Can Apply:

  • While representation has been increasing in recent decades, underrepresented minorities still face inclusion issues in many public service sectors. As a result, this leads to an unequal distribution of political leadership in the shaping of the country.
  • In government, for example, underrepresented minorities in the House of Representatives are based on the proportion of the U.S. population that is African American, yet there is only one Black governor, and only three ever elected in US history. There are only three Black senators. Similarly, just 5% of all lawyers are African American even though 13.4% of the population is Black. In order to boost representation in the key field of public service, more support is needed for underserved populations.
  • Any underrepresented minority that is a high school senior, holding a 2.5 GPA and looking to pursue a degree in education, political science, social justice or law can apply to this scholarship.

Submission: To apply, please discuss an accomplishment, event or experience that sparked your interest in pursuing a career in public service. Please discuss your intended major and your future career goals.

Deadline: April 25, 2023

Amount: $1,000
