HBCU Scholarships
Open Doors to Higher Education
Scholarship Information:
Our nonprofit is dedicated to supporting HBCU students by providing annual scholarships to those who demonstrate academic excellence and financial need. Our scholarships are designed to improve college retention and completion by reducing the financial barriers that often lead students to stop out. By alleviating financial stress and minimizing reliance on student loans or excessive work hours, we enable scholars to remain enrolled, stay on track academically, and successfully graduate. Through this initiative, we aim to increase persistence and completion rates among HBCU students and ensure they finish their degrees prepared for long-term success.
Scholarship Eligibility:
Our annual scholarship program welcomes full-time sophomore, junior, and senior students from any Historically Black College or University (HBCU), regardless of major. Applicants must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.75 and demonstrate financial need to qualify for consideration.
Incoming freshmen are not eligible to apply.
