The Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Scholarship is a scholarship program that was created to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, a renowned abolitionist, civil rights leader, and writer. The scholarship program is intended to recognize and support outstanding students who embody the ideals and values of Frederick Douglass. The scholarship is administered by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and is open to students attending historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the United States. The scholarship provides financial assistance to cover tuition, room and board, and other educational expenses for up to four years of undergraduate study.
The Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Scholarship is a highly competitive scholarship program, and only a limited number of awards are granted each year. However, the scholarship provides a significant opportunity for students to further their education and make a positive impact in their communities, following in the footsteps of Frederick Douglass.
