List of Scholarships for African American Students

We were told that not enough African American students are applying for these scholarships. 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 awareness or lack of interest. 

Please pass this information on to family members and friends. If you are a current or prospective college student, this info can be very useful.
