FAQ
Can I use the same essay for multiple scholarship applications?
Yes! But make sure to read each scholarship application's essay guidelines and requirements, and personalize your essay to each scholarship you apply to. Using the same essay for multiple applications can be a time-saver, but changing just a sentence or two can make a difference!
How do I know if I graduated from a UNCF member institution or selected HBCU?
