About the Scholarship
While more Black students are attending college, educational inequalities are consistently affecting Black communities. On average, Black students graduate with significantly more debt than their white peers. The Black Lives Matter Manchester Achievement Scholarship was created to help support these students by relieving some of this financial burden.
