Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) offer students many opportunities that non-HBCUs can’t.

The community and diversity at HBCUs are unmatched, offering an incredible academic and social atmosphere for students who might otherwise feel isolated on college campuses. HBCUs also offer great alumni connections that can help students succeed long after graduation. In addition to these benefits, HBCUs are often more affordable than other institutions, allowing students to graduate with less debt.

This scholarship seeks to support students who are preparing to graduate from high school and pursue their dreams of higher education.

Any high school senior in Prince William County, Virginia may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re planning to attend an HBCU.
