Scholarships Opportunities
Scholarships from Study.com
Higher education can be a transformative journey, but for many Black students, financial barriers remain a challenge. This Black History Month is a time to not only honor achievements but also to ensure that black students have access to the opportunities they deserve.
At Study.com, we’re committed to helping students break down financial barriers, and we believe our scholarship guides would be a valuable addition to UCI’s resources:
- Guide to College Scholarships & Financial Aid for Black Students: A comprehensive guide featuring undergraduate and graduate scholarships, grants, and fellowships.
- College Scholarships for Underrepresented Students: A curated list of financial aid opportunities for underrepresented students, helping them access the support they need.
