Book Description

There are billions of dollars available to African American undergraduate and graduate students (from accounting to zoology). This money can be used to pay for tuition, fees, books, research projects, creative activities, and other educational expenses. How can you find out about these opportunities? In the past, it was next to impossible! Neither print directories nor online sources covered more than a small portion of the available funding. That's why this new edition of Financial Aid for African Americans is so important. Here, in just one place, you'll be able to find completely updated information on hundreds of the biggest and best scholarships, fellowships, grants, loans, awards, and other funding opportunities available specifically to support African American students interested in working on an undergraduate or graduate degree at a public, private or historically black college or university.Finally, there's an answer to the #1 question asked by African American students: "How am I going to pay for my undergraduate or graduate degree?"The focus of Financial Aid for African Americans is on portable programs aimed at undergraduate and graduate students just like you. Finding money to help you reach your academic goals has never been easier. Using this book, you can tell in seconds if an opportunity is right for you, by scanning the purpose, eligibility, money granted, duration, special features, number awarded, and deadline information. Plus, the book is organized so you can search for aid not only by educational level, but by program title, sponsoring organization, where you live, where the money can be spent, and even deadline.Financial Aid for African Americans has been called "ground-breaking" (SourcesforStudents.com), a "must-have guide" (Kaplan Test Prep), "extremely useful" (Emmanuel Research Review), and "very valuable" (ARBA).
