This scholarship is awarded to high-achieving undergraduate Black students enrolled in an accredited four-year college pursuing a degree in history, political science, communications, media, journalism, or related majors. This scholarship opportunity is open to rising sophomores and juniors.
Scholarship awardees will receive a two-year, need-based scholarship in the amount of $10,000 per year to assist with educational expenses for the upcoming academic year(s). The scholarship will be paid directly to the awardees’ college and will be disbursed in equal amounts for the fall and spring semesters.
