Scholarship
29 July, 2016
Minority students are now an integral part of colleges throughout the U.S.A. These are significant gains made in the past decade. However, the graduation rate for minority students in college is only 50%.
This scholarship will help minority students pay for college tuition. Students who serve at non-profit internships have earned a diploma. We want to enable more minority students to complete their education.
Open to Student Interns at Non-Profit Organizations
Outstanding Student Applicants Wanted
We want to reward minority students who have attained a high academic record. Your GPA must be 3.0 or higher. Your internship is in a non-profit organization, based in the U.S. You qualify if your internship was completed or ongoing during this year. Undergraduate and graduate students in an accredited, U.S. university are eligible. You are over 18 and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
