Pursuing higher education can be difficult for any student, coming with many costs, responsibilities, and stressors. Students pursuing their educational goals while living independently and actively contributing to their communities face even more challenges.

Financial assistance can go a long way in alleviating some of the burdens associated with independent living expenses, helping individuals succeed academically and personally by allowing them to focus more exclusively on their studies. 

This scholarship aims to support and empower African-American and Black men who are striving to achieve their educational and personal goals while managing the challenges of independent living. 

Any African-American and/Black male undergraduate student who is between twenty-one through twenty-five years old may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have financial need, if they live independently (without parents or guardians), and if they’re an active member of a community-based organization (e.g., youth life coach, sports coach or mentoring programs, church ministries, homeless shelters, after-school programs, etc.).

To apply, tell us about the financial challenges you’ve faced, your goals, your community involvement, and how this scholarship would help you. Additionally, upload a picture of yourself.
