    United Negro College Fund - General
    Description:
    The United Negro College Fund awards scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students attending a UNCF member college or university as well as to those students attending other historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and majority institutions. UNCF also supports faculty members through programs offering grants for research and dissertation completion. Information on these scholarships and faculty fellowship grants are provided on this site for review. You can search for more than UNCF scholarships alphabetically, geographically, and by discipline or major. Generally, once a student receives a UNCF scholarship, it may be renewed in subsequent years if the student continues to meet the eligibility requirements of the scholarship and if funds are available. However, the renewal of a UNCF scholarship is not an automatic process. Students typically do not receive more than one UNCF scholarship during an academic year. UNCF general scholarship eligibility criteria are as follows: Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale; Students must have an unmet financial need as verified by the Financial Aid Director; Students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and request that the Student Analysis Report (SAR) be sent to the financial aid office at their college or university. (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov) All scholarships require that these basic criteria are met, however, many scholarships have additional criteria. For example, the 3M Scholars Program requires that students have a minimum G.P.A. of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, major in chemical engineering and are classified as sophomores. African American College Scholarships 2001 - Frederick D. Patterson Research Institute The UNCF Scholarship Search Engine also contains information on other scholarships that primarily serve African American students. You can search through more than 1,000 non-UNCF scholarships for which you may be eligible. Like UNCF scholarships, many of these scholarships have general eligibility criteria, such as GPA and test score requirements; attendance at specific colleges and universities; and level of study. These scholarships are available for undergraduate students, graduate students, and professional school students. Some information about postdoctoral and faculty fellowships is also available.
