With the help of this scholarship, financial obstacles to higher education will be removed and underserved communities will have access to additional money. This unique award promotes higher education among first-generation college students from low-income households and works to level the playing field for students in inner cities. This scholarship promotes matriculation and student retention for those attending or applying to HBCUs in order to encourage the many brilliant students in Baltimore City.
High-achieving students have the chance to access critical financing through Morgan State University’s Featherstone HBCU College Scholarships, making it possible for them to attend a four-year historically black college or university (HBCU). Six Featherstone HBCU Scholarships worth $3,000 each will be given out this year by the Featherstone Foundation to deserving students.
