The UNCF (United Negro College Fund) General Scholarship is a program that provides financial assistance to students who are attending historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) or other accredited institutions of higher education. The UNCF General Scholarship program is designed to support students who are pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in any field of study. The scholarship is awarded based on a variety of factors, including academic achievement, financial need, community involvement, leadership potential, and other criteria determined by the individual scholarship provider.
The UNCF General Scholarship program is just one of the many programs offered by the UNCF, which is the largest provider of scholarships and other educational support to African American students in the United States. Since its founding in 1944, the UNCF has helped more than 500,000 students earn college degrees, and its scholarship programs have provided more than $5 billion in financial assistance.
