Minority Scholarships

With larger percentages of minority students enrolling each year, the landscape of higher education is beginning to change. There are a large number of college scholarships aimed at helping minority students get a post-secondary education while keeping student loans to a minimum. Read below to see how minority scholarships work, how to find the ones that fit you best and how to apply.

What are minority scholarships?

Minority scholarships are awarded to students who are underrepresented, either in college as a whole or in specific areas. For example, while women make up the majority of college students, they are still considered a minority in fields such as science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Minority scholarships may be given for the following categories:

  • Racial identity
  • Ethnicity
  • Gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Neurodiversity
  • Disability status

Some minority scholarships may have a financial need element, but this depends on the scholarship provider. Minority scholarships can be limited to a specific minority type or encompass many different marginalized groups. Some of them may be specifically for first-generation, or "first in family" college students who come from famalies which have never had a member attend or graduate from college.

For example, the Brown MAE Foundation Healthcare Scholarship is given to a healthcare student from one of the following racial groups: Black/African American, Native American/American Indian, Hispanic/Latin American or Asian or Pacific Islander.

Some minority scholarships may be vague in their requirements. For example, the GMiS California Health Sciences Scholarship is given to a student from a group that has been historically underreported in the health sciences industry. They do not mention any groups by name, unlike other types of minority scholarships.

Scholarships for minority students may only require a general level of academic success or have detailed requirements, like majoring in a certain field or being interested in a particular industry.

How to apply for minority scholarships

The application process for a minority scholarship is similar to the process for any other kind of scholarship. First, know that it’s never too early to start applying for scholarships. Scholarship deadlines vary greatly, and it's better to start sooner rather than later in order to maximize your chances of winning a scholarship.

You can start by looking for scholarships using our Scholarship Directory or creating a profile and conducting a free college scholarship search as well as talking to your high school counselor and perhaps the financial aid office at any college you are considering attending.

Once you start finding potential scholarships, organize them by the due date and level of difficulty. For example, you will need to allocate more time to a scholarship that requires two separate essays than an application without any essays.

Also note which scholarships require a letter of recommendation from a teacher, club sponsor, coach or another adult. You should probably give at least a few weeks' notice when asking for a letter of recommendation.

Make sure to look for both general minority scholarships and unique awards that you’re especially suited for. The general awards are more likely to have a large influx of applicants, making it harder to stand out.

If you can find scholarships that only fit a small segment of the population, you’ll be more likely to win. For example, the United Negro College Fund offers scholarships for all kinds of African-American students, while the National Association of Black Journalists only provides awards for Black students interested in media.

Frequently asked questions about minority scholarships

What are the best minority scholarships?

The Gates Scholarship is given to a student from one of the following racial backgrounds: African-American, American Indian/Native American, Alaska Native, Asian & Pacific Islander American, and/or Hispanic American. The award will cover the remaining cost of college attendance after all other types of financial aid have been applied.

Do I need to complete the FAFSA to qualify for a minority scholarship?

Some minority scholarships require that the student show proof of demonstrated financial need. They may do this by having students submit a copy of their parent’s most recent tax return or a copy of their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Many schools even require that students complete the FAFSA to qualify for any of their own awards, including merit scholarships. Students who submit the FAFSA may be eligible for federal student loans, federal grants and state grants. Even if you’re not required to submit the FAFSA, it’s always good practice to complete it. You never know what kind of aid you might receive.

How can I maximize my minority scholarships?

There are many different types of minority scholarships available, and you're not limited to those that only fit one part of your background. For example, if you’re part of the LGBQT+ community and are African-American, you should apply for scholarships for both LGBQT+ students and African-American students.
