African American Scholarships

I have researched and assembled some of the top educational resources in several areas of African American study. This section is designed to help African Americans locate financial assistance available to continue to ensure that we are able to pursue academic excellence.

Unclaimed Scholarship Money

Did you know that AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS! No one is going to knock on our doors and ask if we can use a scholarship!/p>

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does, and to anyone and everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarships to African Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest or awareness.

Take the initiative to get your children involved.! Money shouldn't be returned to donating companies because we fail to apply for it.

Here are 51 Resources for Scholarship monies available to African Americans: Please pass this information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children etc. We must get the word out that money is available. If you are a college student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful additional money can be.
