Underutilized Scholarships for Underrepresented Minorities
On a yearly basis, there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated moneys for scholarship use to underrepresented student applicants; however, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of applicant interest. Students are not applying for many scholarship opportunities, and therefore, available college funds are either underutilized or not used at all. Please review this list and/or pass on to others. This list has been widely circulated over the last few years; however, many scholarships listed remain available for application. Check each web site/contact address for current eligibility information. Also, some scholarship Web sites provide for high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate college applicants, as well as internships.
