Description

Author, researcher, and strategist, Mychal Wynn, uses real data to develop research-responsive strategies. Scholarship data is clear—despite the many social media posts regarding and promoting scholarships, according to U.S. Scholarship Statistics (Woodward 2024):

• Only one in eight college students is awarded a scholarship
• 97% of students that are awarded scholarships received less than $2,500
• Only 0.2% of students receive scholarships worth $25,000 or more
• Full-ride scholarships (education + living expenses) are awarded to only about 0.1% of students

In response to these statistics, Mychal Wynn, in HBCU Scholarships…and more* provides the scholarship playbook that resulted in students receiving full scholarships to such HBCUs as:

• Benedict College
• Claflin University
• Clark Atlanta University
• Dillard University
• Florida A&M University
• North Carolina A&T State University
• North Carolina Central University
• Tuskegee University
• Xavier University of Louisiana

The scholarship strategies set forth in HBCU Scholarships…and more* have resulted in students receiving such scholarships as:

• Amazon Scholarship
• CodeHouse Scholarship
• ELC Scholarship
• Goldman Sachs ‘Market Madness’
• MC Lyte Hip Hop Sisters Educate Our Men Scholarship
• UnitedHeath Group Scholarship

Mychal Wynn, in HBCU Scholarships…and more* reveals how students matched to the right scholarships and developed the body of work that propelled them into the .1% of students attending college on a full scholarship. A “scholarship strategy” is not about gimmicks, luck, or wishful thinking, but submitting high quality application packages, developing well-written and thoughtful essays that effectively make the argument for being awarded the scholarship, both of which are supported by your body or work and recommendations. Reaching a full scholarship does not require applying for 100+ scholarships, but for 3 – 5 well researched and well matched scholarships—and this book provides step-by-step guidance for developing YOUR scholarship strategy!
