Scholarship General Requirements:

We consider a person to be a Black/African-American if they are a member of the Black/African-American race. Applicants with mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds must demonstrate their racial identity to be predominantly Black/African-American. The Trustees will make a determination as to the qualification in those cases that are uncertain. Information as to philosophy, commitment to the Black/African-American race and self-identity may also be considered in such areas.

In order to complete your application you will need to attach the following in your application:

  • A recent small photograph.
  • A copy of your full college transcript through the end of the last semester.
