Scholarships

HBCU Connect

HBCUCONNECT.COM is proud to announce the HBCU CONNECT HBCU Student Scholarship Program for HBCU students. The scholarship program makes available several $1,000 scholarships for HBCU student applicants who attend or plan to attend a Historically Black College or University. The scholarship can be applied to tuition or books for the semester in which the funds are received (typically within 3 weeks of the submission date).

HBCU CONNECT is the largest student and alumni organization of Historically Black College and University supporters on the planet. Founded in 1999, we have given away thousands in scholarship dollars to deserving college students. We are dedicated to keeping HBCU students and graduates connected with each other and with opportunities for advancement.

Application timeline: December each year
