Scholarships: Scholarships for Minorities

Many organizations, colleges, associations and nonprofits offer scholarships and grants geared specifically for black students. Some cover the cost of a full college degree while others provide stipends to supplement expenses associated with higher learning.

While requirements and eligibility vary depending on the type of scholarship or grant, the range of options opens up an even wider range of educational possibilities
