Black Collegian Organizations Assisting People of Color
http://web.archive.org/web/20010628233934/ http://www.black-collegian.com/graduateschool/graduate.shtml
The challenge for 95% of the students interested in graduate and professional study is finding money--scholarships, fellowships, and grants. Finding money is especially difficult for students who don't know what monies are available or how and where to look for them. African Americans, in particular, lack the information needed to identify these financial resources and, as a result, tend to think more about taking out a loan to pay for their education. If other sources are not available, you should consider a loan. However, our hope is that you will use the information provided as a launching pad to find and secure free money for your graduate and professional studies. THE BLACK COLLEGIAN has compiled the following listing of some of the organizations assisting people of color interested in pursuing graduate and professional degrees in management, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, engineering, law, human resources, labor/industrial relations, material sciences, astronomy, computer science, geology, chemistry, and physics.

Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation Scholarship Portal
http://www.hispanicheritageawards.org/press_news.php?id=11
At the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation, we promote future role models through their success in the classroom and community in an effort to encourage other young people to use education as a vehicle for success. We accomplish that goal through our Youth Awards program, where we reward students across America for their accomplishments. However, there are too many worthy candidates and not every student can win our Youth Awards. As a way for every student to win, we created a portal of resources and scholarship opportunities available to Hispanic young people by worthwhile organizations all over the country.
