At KR Scholars, we believe that a single scholarship can spark unlimited potential. That’s the heart behind our Annual Scholarship Program, which provides direct financial support to HBCU students who are not only excelling academically, but leading boldly on campus and in their communities.

This year, after a highly competitive application process, we’re proud to introduce our 2025 KR Scholars—a dynamic group of students representing HBCUs across the country. From aspiring educators and engineers to future physicians and entrepreneurs, these scholars reflect the brilliance, drive, and purpose that define our mission.

But our support goes beyond a check. KR Scholars also benefit from ongoing mentorship, career development opportunities, financial literacy education, and connections to a growing network of alumni and professionals. We’re committed to seeing them not just to college—but through college and into thriving careers.

Why This Work Matters
Many of our recipients come from under-resourced communities, where financial barriers—not talent—stand in the way of completing their degrees. By investing in scholarships, we’re removing those barriers and creating space for Black excellence to flourish.

For our corporate partners and supporters, this program is a chance to directly impact the lives of future changemakers—while contributing to a more diverse, skilled, and equitable workforce. It’s not just charity—it’s strategy.

Made Possible by You
This year’s scholarships were made possible by the generosity of our individual donors, community champions, and corporate sponsors. Your support helps us invest in the future of higher education, leadership, and economic mobility for Black students nationwide.

💛 Thank you for believing in our mission and in the limitless potential of HBCU students.
