Kim Moon Bae Underrepresented Students Scholarship
The path to a college degree does not look the same for every student.
While students from any background or walk of life may struggle on the road to higher education, learners who are racial minorities face a unique set of barriers. From isolation on campus to financial barriers to facing racism in the academic and professional world, underrepresented students can often benefit from additional encouragement.
This scholarship seeks to support underrepresented minority students as they pursue their dreams of higher education.
Any BIPOC student pursuing an undergraduate degree may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about your identity as a member of a minority group, how it has impacted you so far, and how it will continue to affect you in the future.
Please write about your identity as a member of an underrepresented minority population and how it has and will have an impact on your path.
