Black Collegian Graduate Study Opportunity Programs & Fellowships





Black Collegian Organizations Assisting People of Color



The challenge for 95% of the students interested in graduate and professional study is finding money--scholarships, fellowships, and grants. Finding money is especially difficult for students who don't know what monies are available or how and where to look for them. African Americans, in particular, lack the information needed to identify these financial resources and, as a result, tend to think more about taking out a loan to pay for their education. If other sources are not available, you should consider a loan. However, our hope is that you will use the information provided as a launching pad to find and secure free money for your graduate and professional studies. THE BLACK COLLEGIAN has compiled the following listing of some of the organizations assisting people of color interested in pursuing graduate and professional degrees in management, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, engineering, law, human resources, labor/industrial relations, material sciences, astronomy, computer science, geology, chemistry, and physics.
