Texas Black Careers Cross The Stage Scholarship

Black students face a unique set of struggles when pursuing higher education. 

Only 45.9% of Black students attending four-year public institutions complete their degrees within six years, the lowest rate when compared to students of other races. 

This scholarship seeks to support Black undergraduate seniors who are attending college in Texas so they can finish out their degrees and graduate.  

Any Black student who is a senior at a four-year college or university in Texas with a 2.5 GPA or higher may apply for this scholarship. 

To apply, answer the three questions below about the advice you would give to yourself as a freshman, how diversity has impacted your college experience, and why your graduation is so important.
