The Black Lives Matter Manchester Achievement Scholarship
The Application for the 2021-2022 academic year is now closed. The application for the 2022-2023 academic year will open in late fall - early winter.
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.
2021 RECIPIENTS
Despite facing adversity, these students demonstrated leadership, diligence, and courage throughout their schooling. We are proud to support them in their journey through higher education.
