United Negro College Fund (UNCF)

The UNCF distributes thousands of dollars to undergraduate and graduate college students. Before applying for these financial aid programs, students should be aware of the criterion that makes them eligible to apply.



A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required.
Candidates should have unmet financial needs and the same should be verified by their school's financial aid director.
Students need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and then send the Student Analysis Report (SAR) to the financial aid office of the university.



Whichever UNCEF scholarship African Americans may win, they need to renew the scholarships on a yearly basis. For further details, candidates can log on to the United Negro College Fund Website.



National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
The NAACP has its branches all across the United States. Students are required to send a written request to NAACP or get in touch with the organization's local branch to receive the scholarship application form along with the instructions for filling out the same. For more information, African American students can visit the NAACP website.
