Apply starting September 1, 2024. Deadline February 1, 2025. Scholars to be announced during Black History Month of 2025 and will receive their awarded scholarship during the same calendar school year of 2024-2025.

To qualify for the selection process, the start date of the application is 9/01 and persons must have completed the application by 02/01, of the same school year.

LIMIT: One application per person. Multiple applications from a single person will result in disqualification of all applications submitted by that person. Incomplete applications, or essays that have not met the criteria, will not be considered for the selection process. Sponsors are not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, ineligible, illegible, damaged, altered, or incomplete applications.

All applicant materials submitted become the property of the Sponsors and will not be returned or acknowledged. If a person is awarded a scholarship and decides to leave the private institution or get expelled during the school year the scholarship was awarded. The applicant will be held responsible for repaying back 50% of the scholarship fund in an allotted amount of time agreed upon by the officers of the scholarship fund and recipient.

Essays must be the applicant's own original work solely executed by the applicant, which applicant has an unrestricted right to submit and have not won any other awards, and must not defame, or invade publicity or privacy rights of any person, living and deceased, or otherwise infringe on any person’s personal rights. Essays may not include profanity or other inappropriate content, as determined by the selection committee and Sponsors in their sole discretion.

Selection Process: All eligible applications received during the Academic Scholarship Fund will be reviewed by a selection committee, and the award-winning recipients will be based on the following equally weighted criteria listed in prior paragraphs. At the end of the selection process, the top applicants per scholarship with the highest score will be declared the award-winning recipient of that scholarship. IN the event of a tie, the applicant with the highest score for the essay will be declared the winner. If that ends in a tie, then the committee will review top applicants and vote, which by majority vote will be declared the winner.

If selected, attendance is mandatory to the Heroes of Tomorrow Award ceremony. If unable to attend, the recipient can have someone be a representative in the recipient’s absence.

All applicants are welcome to apply.
