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 anyone who comes to mind. There are a number of companies and organizations who have donated money for scholarships to African Americans, but 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.
