<p>Good morning!
I am an African american with a 3.9(4.6) GPa, 24act, and 1130(1700) sat
Any major scholarships somebody could suggest?</p>
<p>You might try asking on the AA Students forum.</p>

<p>Look at automatic scholarsips at HBCUs.</p>
<p>Thanks, but I wasn’t exactly looking at HBCU’s…except for maybe two.</p>
<p>HBCUs are gonna be your best bet unless you wanna try the ACT/SAT again.</p>
<p>What schools were you looking at?</p>
<p>Yeah i was going to try to get better scores. Are you talking about the HBCU’s?</p>
<p>You need better scores to improve your scholarship possibilities even for HBCUs. E.g. Praire View’s top scholarship requires a minimum 26 ACT or 1760 SAT.</p>
<p>Yeah i know…i really want a 27</p>
<p>The Jackie Robinson scholarship is a good one. You receive $24600 over four years along with mentoring and an annual leadership conference in NYC.</p>
<p>Jackie Robinson, General Mills(if going into healthcare), blacks at Microsoft (if going into technology or engineering), Gates Millennium, and the UNCF has some scholarships.</p>
<p>The first thing I think of is the Ron Brown Scholarship but it is super competitive, so your going to need to get your ACT score up. The scholarship gives $10,000 a year for your undergrad. Also, look into the Gates Millennium Scholarship. They don’t consider test scores but that also is a very competitive scholarship. What state do you live in? Depending on the state you live in, there can be a lot of local scholarships apply for those. Your more likely to get that then the national scholarships.</p>
<p>Also, are you low income? There are a lot of scholarships for applicants who are low income.</p>
<p>Low income: Horatio Algers, GE Reagan, Tzu Chi, Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship, Brian Jordan Foundation Scholarship. Other Scholarships, not sure if they are needs based: RMHC, Dell, Best Buy, Burger King, and the KFC Colonels scholarship(this one if only for public universities).</p>
<p>Thank all of you for your replies. I think i’m middle class. Are there any that are due this month?</p>
