Unfortunately, there is a pronounced racial gap in enrollment rates at top colleges and universities around the country for African Americans. Fortunately, a number of scholarships and financial aid opportunities are earmarked specifically for this demographic. BestColleges.com developed a holistic financial aid guide specifically for African American students. We provide context for how students can best take advantage of available resources while offering a comprehensive listing of 30+ scholarship and grant opportunities totaling over $250,000.
