Who Can Apply:
- There are many students who have the potential to become dedicated public servants who make the world a better place each and every day.
- Many young people have a humanitarian and philanthropic vision but don’t have the funds they need to pursue the higher education they need to enter their dream career fields. Due to the racial wealth gap, African American students are often at a particular financial disadvantage when it comes to paying for college.
- This scholarship aims to increase representation in public services by making higher education more accessible to minority students.
- Any African American male undergraduate student who is a first-generation college student with non-profit volunteering experience may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re pursuing water science, environment and sustainability, engineering, technology, criminal justice, public policy, or justice and social issues programs.
