In the words of Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

For many students, families, and communities, education is a tool that allows them to advance and innovate. Education empowers communities with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for both personal and collective success. Unfortunately, financial limitations make college inaccessible to many people from underserved communities, limiting their future options.

This scholarship aims to open doors for students pursuing their educational and career dreams—whether that’s college, vocational, or technical school—so they can make a positive impact on the world. Any student at Dillard High School in Florida may apply, with a strong preference for those planning to attend HBCUs.
