Here’s How HBCU Students in Georgia Can Apply to Win a $2,500 Scholarship

Georgia may be known for its peaches and Southern hospitality, but it also has one of the highest numbers of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

Atlanta-based Delta Community Credit Union, in partnership with Atlanta radio station KISS 104.1 FM, sponsors a quarterly scholarship giving students attending one of the state’s 10 HBCUs a chance to win $2,500 toward their education expenses.

Not only can students apply for the scholarship themselves, but others can nominate deserving undergrads or incoming freshmen.

The deadline for this quarter’s crop of applicants is quickly approaching, so you’ll want to apply soon.

However, if you miss out on this opportunity, the good news is the sponsors will award three more scholarships throughout the year.
