Share with family and friends AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT APPLYING FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS: Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please
share this with someone who does, and to anyone and everyone that comes to
mind. Though 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. Please pass this
information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children
etc. We must get the word out that money is available. If you are a college
student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful
additional money can be.
