Scholarship Information for Black Students


We seek applicants for BDPA Scholarship sponsored by Bank of America and Eli Lilly Scholarships for BDPA Students.

We also want to inform you about BlackStudents.com, an online destination for Black students that provides a streamlined experience when locating and applying for scholarships and internships online. Each week the latest opportunities are posted on the site with links to apply directly to the program.

Some other features on the site include a free student loan calculator, PSAT/SAT secrets, a directory of Black College profiles, and various articles answering student FAQs.

Dante Lee created the website back in 2003. He states, "Having put myself through college on scholarships and financial aid, I know how important it is for students to have access to this information. My personal search would have been that much easier if I had a tool like this when I was in high school."

BlackStudents.com also offers a weekly newsletter with scholarship and internship information that parents and students can get in their email.

Some of you have asked the BDPA Foundation about other scholarship opportunities. Of course, we encourage you to visit our BETF Scholarship webpage for current scholarship information. Have you had a chance to check it out?
