Taylor University Cultural Diversity Scholarship

Scholarships that emphasize cultural diversity typically aim to support students from underrepresented or marginalized backgrounds. While eligibility criteria can vary, here are some common factors considered for scholarships focused on cultural diversity:

• Ethnic or cultural background: Scholarships may be specifically targeted toward students from particular ethnic or cultural backgrounds, such as African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Asian, or other underrepresented groups.
• Academic achievement: Scholarships often consider applicants’ academic performance, including GPA, standardized test scores, and academic honors or achievements.
• Leadership and community involvement: Scholarship programs may value applicants who have demonstrated leadership skills and active participation in extracurricular activities or community service, particularly in activities related to promoting diversity and inclusion.
• Financial need: Some scholarships prioritize students with demonstrated financial need. This may involve submitting financial information, such as tax documents or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
• Essay or personal statement: Applicants may be required to write an essay or personal statement that highlights their experiences, perspectives, and contributions related to their cultural or ethnic background.
• Letters of recommendation: Scholarships may require letters of recommendation from teachers, mentors, or community leaders who can attest to the applicant’s character, potential, and contributions.
