Since SCHOLARSHIP is one of our Cardinal Principles, we provide a listing of scholarships that are available for high school and college students. If you know of any scholarship programs that you feel we should present, please send the information to us at contact@okkques.org.
The Tom Joyner Foundation
The Tom Joyner Foundation only does one thing…it helps students continue their education at Black colleges. All too often a student will get into college, then encounter financial difficulties that will force them to drop out. The Foundation provides money directly to the Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) for the purpose of helping these students complete their education. Here you will find plenty of information on HBCU scholarships and prograns.
