Educate Black America

$100 Million in Scholarships

Convert your everyday spending into financial support for Black Higher Education

Scholarships for you, your family, your friends and your community

The EDUCATE BLACK AMERICA initiative was developed by ABC Ventures to create a $100 Million scholarship fund in partnership with some of America's leading companies. We have expanded our program with three new features, ABC Travel, Upromise and Appleseed Scholarships.

Upromise is the most comprehensive Internet site helping people and familes save money for colleges while making everyday purchases at more than 20,000 grocery and drug stores, 14,000 gas stations, 8,000 restaurants, thousands of retail stores and over 350 online shopping sites. Upromise can be found at www.upromise.com.

EBA Travel is a comprehensive travel tool that provides complete travel planning and purchase. In our Destination Section, you can explore cities and countries before you travel. Most importantly, when you purchase your travel through our online travel agent partners, a portion of your cost is allocated to the scholarship fund.

Appleseed is our most exciting new development.  We now make it possible for people to get directly involved in scholarship awards and the selection of scholarship award winners.  Appleseed Scholarships are a new, innovative way for students and families, and organizations to earn scholarship support and cash by working with EDUCATE BLACK AMERICA as independent marketing representatives.  Appleseed reps will assist ABC Ventures in distributing marketing materials to build greater awareness and support.  We are recruiting representatives throughout the country.  Full details will be available November 1, 2005.
