The Emmett Comer Scholarship is a scholarship program that was established by the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, Inc. (NANBPWC) in honor of Emmett J. Comer, who was the organization’s first male national president. The scholarship program is designed to provide financial assistance to African American women who are pursuing higher education.
The scholarship is awarded annually to eligible applicants who meet the criteria set forth by the NANBPWC. The criteria include academic achievement, community involvement, leadership potential, and financial need. The amount of the scholarship award varies from year to year, but typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,000.
To apply for the Emmett Comer Scholarship, interested applicants should visit the NANBPWC website and complete the application form. The application deadline is typically in the spring, and the scholarship recipients are usually announced in the summer.
