Equitable Access Programs
Equitable access programs are recruitment efforts geared toward students from historically underrepresented groups in an effort to diversify a particular field of study.
The team at Study.com recently developed a Financial Aid and Scholarship Guide for Black Students. Our goal is to inform students about critical information regarding their college education and share different resources that will help set them up for success.
The Financial Aid and Scholarship Guide for Black Students offers in-depth information in several areas, including:
- Information on finding and applying for scholarships
- A list of scholarships for black students at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels
- Information on HBCUs and why they're important
- A list of scholarships for students wanting to attend an HBCU
- Organizations and resources that are helpful for Black students and students of color
Real Talk is a virtual college exploration initiative designed to connect Black students and families with Black representatives from colleges and access organizations across the country. We empower Black students to own their futures their way. Real Talk is a safe space for you to learn and engage, while also getting answers to your most pressing questions about life after high school. No matter where you are on your journey, we’re here for you. Family members and educators are also encouraged to participate!
