CBC Spouses Education Scholarship, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards that vary in amount. Ethnicity requirements apply.

Description

The CBC Spouses Education Scholarship was established in 1988 by the spouses of Congressional Black Caucus members to address the educational need in the congressional districts in response to federal cuts in spending for education programs and scholarships, which disproportionately affect people of color. This opportunity awards scholarships to academically talented and highly motivated African-American or Black students pursuing an undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral degree in a variety of fields. Graduating high school seniors are eligible to apply. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. They must reside or attend an academic institution in a CBC Member's District. Applicants must submit a video response as their personal statement. In the video, applicants must discuss how they will use their education to bring change in their community. Applicants must also submit one letter of recommendation and provide the name of the U.S. Representative based on their permanent address. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. for more information.
