    About this scholarship

    This program provides gap funding to undergraduate students at Alcorn State University who have remaining financial needs after all other aid has been exhausted. The awards are designed to help cover educational costs such as tuition, fees, and books. To qualify, students must be enrolled full-time and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average. Funding is supported by private donations and is intended to assist students who demonstrate academic merit, leadership qualities, and community service. Because these funds are nonrecurring, returning students must submit a new application each year to be considered for renewal. All applicants are evaluated based on their financial need and academic performance.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
