Scholarships for underrepresented groups are financial awards designed to support students from backgrounds that have historically faced barriers in education. These groups may include individuals from racial and ethnic minorities, low-income families, first-generation college students, and LGBTQ+ communities. The goal of these scholarships is to promote diversity and inclusion in higher education. Many organizations, including nonprofits, universities, and government agencies, offer these scholarships to help reduce the financial burden of college. Recipients can use the funds for tuition, books, and other educational expenses, making it easier for them to pursue their academic and career goals.
