College Scholarship Money

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

There are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarships to African-Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest or awareness. No one is going to knock on our doors and ask if we can use a scholarship. Take the initiative to get your children involved. Money shouldn't be returned to donating companies because we fail to apply for it.

If you are a college student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful additional money can be.
