Scholarships for African American Students

African American Students

Scholarship providers like to recognize more than just good grades and athletic abilities. They like to celebrate heritage and ethnicity as well.

African-American/Black (non-Hispanic) scholarships enable scholarship providers to do just that.

These scholarships are typically awarded through schools, from notable African American advancement organizations, such as the NAACP, UNCF, as well as historically African American sororities, fraternities and foundations.

Your heritage, ethnicity and race is part of what makes you uniquely and wonderfully you - so celebrate you with a scholarship!
