Scholarship Selection
Scholarships
There will be three types of scholarships available: Appleseed Awards, ABC Club Scholarships and Diversity Seekers.
1. Appleseed Awards
Appleseed Scholarships are part of a new and innovative self help program for students, families, to earn scholarships. ABC Ventures will redirect advertising funds to provide scholarships and cash awards to applicants who promote the EDUCATE BLACK AMERICA initiative by distributing brochures in their local communities. Through the Appleseed Project, ABC Ventures will establish a national network of Take One displays through businesses and organizations that share our goal of a better educated Black America.
Appleseed distributors, as independent contractors, will be responsible for planting the seeds for success and opportunity. The brochures will provide background on making the best education decisions and finding the necessary funding to pursue education goals. EDUCATE BLACK AMERICA is an Internet portal using The Black Higher Education Channel and America's Black Collegians as foundations.

2. ABC Club Scholarships
Members of the ABC Club (see About Us) will be entered into a sweepstakes drawing to award scholarships. The amount and number of scholarships will depend on the availability of funds. Awards are made on a one time basis, limited to one per household, and are transferable within the same household. Participation is prohibited by employees of America's Black Collegians and The Black Higher Education Channel.
3. DIVERSITY SEEKERS
These scholarship awards have been established for students attending colleges and universities that have joined the America's Black Collegians Network on The Black Higher Education Channel at www.blackhighereducation.com. By becoming DIVERSITY SEEKERS, these schools have demonstrated their commitment to actively recruit minority students and promote a diverse, multicultural educational environment. Students who attend or plan to attend DIVERSITY SEEKERS schools and are selected to receive America's Black Collegians scholarships will receive the DIVERSITY SEEKERS award in addition to their regular scholarship. Click DIVERSITY SEEKERS for a listing of these colleges and universities. The scholarships for each school will be awarded on the basis of an essay competition. The theme will be "How will the achievement of your educational goals be reflected in positive impacts on your community and school?"
Timing and Selection
America's Black Collegians scholarship recipients are selected throughout the year. The awards are available for study in the Fall, and Spring semesters.
