Scholarships for minorities?

<p>I was wondering what are some good scholarships to apply for if your a minority, I googled some but did'nt find anything that looked legit.</p>

<p>The Gates scholarship is great. See [::</a>. The Gates Millennium Scholars .::](<a href=“http://www.gmsp.org/]::”>http://www.gmsp.org/)</p>

<p>What minority group are you a member of? Knowing that would help posters make suggestions. Also, I checked your other posts and see you are a current college student. That’s important info as well as many scholarships unfortunately limit applications to graduating high school students. I see you want to go into nursing. I’m posting that here as it may help others come up with scholarship suggestions targeted towards minorities in science-related fields or health care fields.</p>

<p>Here is a link I’ve been sent for African Amercian scholarships, but most if not all that I checked out require that you are also in financial need.</p>

<p>Here’s a page with some nursing scholarships: [Scholarship</a> and Internship Programs-Brookwood Medical Center-Birmingham, AL](<a href=“http://www.bwmc.com/en-us/ourservices/communityservices/pages/nursing%20scholarship%20program.aspx]Scholarship”>http://www.bwmc.com/en-us/ourservices/communityservices/pages/nursing%20scholarship%20program.aspx)</p>

<p>Tylenol offers a scholarship for those entering the health care field. It doesn’t look like the application for this is out yet.

<p>Well I’m African American If that helps. Thanks for the replies.</p>

<p>Check out Ronald McDonald House Charities. They have a Future Achievers scholarship that’s only for African Americans. They also have scholarships that are for Hispanic and Asian students.</p>

Is the GMS extremely difficult to get without perfect stats? I have great stats, but they look mediocre compared to a lot of people on this forum.</p>

<p>True, but make sure your county is listed as one of the approved locations. Mine isn’t :(</p>

<p>I don’t know if this will make a difference, but the OP won’t be an incoming freshman; she’ll be a transfer student.</p>

<p>I know that many scholarships are for incoming freshmen only.</p>

<p>^ Yes; for the Gates</p>

<p>“Will be enrolling for the first-time at a U.S. accredited* college or university as a full-time, degree-seeking, first-year student”</p>

<p>Also note for the Gates…</p>

<p>the…“Meet the Federal Pell Grant” eligibility criteria…Just sayin…</p>
