Black students carry a disproportionate share of America's student loan debt — not because of lack of ambition, but because of a lack of access to funding information designed specifically for them. BlackCollegeScholarships.com was built to close that gap.

We are the only dedicated scholarship directory built exclusively for Black students, HBCU attendees, and first-generation college students. Our database includes national scholarships, corporate diversity awards, HBCU-specific programs, state-based funding, and niche awards across every field of study — all free to search, forever.

Whether you are a high school senior searching for your first scholarship, an HBCU student looking for renewable funding, or a first-generation student navigating college finances alone — your money is here. Start searching today.
