Minority Scholarships

Minority Scholarships

While white students still comprise a large portion of college enrollments, the increasing percentages of minority students enrolling each year are beginning to reshape the higher education landscape. According to the Education Data Initiative, about 15% of all college students are Black, 20% are Hispanic/Latino and about 7% are Asian/Pacific Islander. Native Americans make up less than 1% of college students currently. An influx of minority scholarships aimed at helping minority students attend college without incurring massive debt has greatly aided this demographic shift. But navigating the new scholarship landscape can be tricky. Read below to see how minority scholarships work, how to find the best options and how to apply. Application timeline: Varies
