Access to a college education has never been more important for individuals and society! A college education opens up unlimited possibilities and helps students to discover and foster their unique gifts. It also demonstrates that students are willing to make an investment in their own futures. However, for many young people this investment cannot become a reality, because they are unable to afford the rising cost of college tuition.
Since 1985, the UNCF Scholarships and Grants Administration office has awarded in scholarship assistance over $105 million to over 28,000 students enrolled in its 39 member colleges and universities and other HBCUs and majority institutions as well. We provide support in numerous ways to a variety of constituencies:
Students -Scholarships that pay for tuition, room and board, and any mandatory fees associated with direct educational costs. Opportunities through internships with corporations throughout the United States are also available to provide valuable hands-on experience to assist in career development of our students.
Member Colleges/Universities ? Funding to our member institutions in order to maintain low tuition cost and nurturing environments. Grants also provide needed assistance to help building capacity of the UNCF network.
