Cyber Scholar Now Scholarship
Students are often held to the same educational standards and expectations, despite the fact that not all students have the same opportunities.
First-generation college students and low-income students may come from less privileged backgrounds, and therefore they may have fewer opportunities, less academic guidance, and inadequate financial resources to aid in college costs. The Cyber Scholar Now Scholarship seeks to support a BIPOC, first-generation college student who has overcome challenges in order to succeed.
BIPOC undergraduate students are eligible to apply if they are first generation college students and are attending a historically black college or university (HBCU). Preference will be given to technology majors. To apply, write about the major you’re pursuing and why it interests you.
What major are you pursuing, and why does it interest you?
