Minority scholarships are financial awards designed to support students from underrepresented groups in pursuing higher education. These scholarships aim to promote diversity and inclusion in colleges and universities by providing financial assistance to individuals who may face barriers due to their race, ethnicity, or other factors. Many organizations, including government agencies and private foundations, offer minority scholarships. Eligibility criteria often vary, but they typically consider factors such as academic achievement, community involvement, and financial need. Students can find these scholarships through online databases, school counseling offices, and community organizations, helping to ease the financial burden of education.
