NAACP Scholarships

Each year the NAACP, through generous donations, is able to provide scholarships to outstanding students.  It is the duty of our dedicated Scholarship Committee to determine the most outstanding individuals to receive these awards.  The NAACP does not provide financial aid to individuals, only scholarships through this process.

The application process for the 2011-2012 school year will begin in late Fall 2010.  You can view information about each scholarship, including the requirements here.  However, as in years past, the process will be entirely online through our partnership with UNCF.  When the process opens you will find the link on this page as well.  We will not be accepting mailed applications.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the following individuals as winners of NAACP scholarships for the 2010-2011 academic year.
