At HBCU CONNECT, we are proud to support the next generation of Black excellence through our annual scholarship program, designed to empower students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

We’re awarding multiple $1,000 scholarships to talented, driven students pursuing their college degrees—and we need your help to make sure every eligible student knows about it!

✅ Eligibility Criteria:

  • Must be currently enrolled at an accredited HBCU
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident
  • Must complete the online application and submit a short essay

Whether you’re a student, alumni, parent, or advocate for education, we encourage you to apply or share this opportunity with someone who deserves it.

📅 Deadline to Apply: August 15, 2025
📍 Apply here: https://hbcuconnect.com/scholarship

💬 Why This Matters:

Higher education costs continue to rise, and even small scholarships can make a big difference. Our scholarship is about more than money—it’s about encouraging success, building confidence, and keeping our community strong.

📢 Help Us Spread the Word!

Know a deserving student attending an HBCU? Send them the link. Share it on your social media. Tag a future scholar.

Let’s come together to invest in the future of Black excellence.
Because when we uplift one, we uplift all.
