100 Scholarships for Students of Color
December 12, 2011
Studylands.com has for its mission to facilitate students exchanges at the global level by promoting international education and intercultural exchange.
An education web directory where students and educators of all nations can meet
Our first education web directory, SpainExchange.com, was created in June of 1999 when we sought to meet the need for a comprehensive, free, and impartial source of information online for students from other countries planning to study in Spain. Our original objective was to facilitate student exchanges to and from Spain, but shortly after we decided to develop a directory for all schools and students around the world that also included exchange students, language exchanges, secondary school exchanges and student housing listings.
In 2014 we moved a portion of SpainExchange.com and rebranded it as Studylands.com. This new site is focused solely on listing educational institutions from around the world.
We have gathered a comprehensive listing of the top 100 Scholarships for students of color, including:
- Ralph J. Bunche Scholarship
- Ron Brown Scholar Program
- Ronald McDonald House Charity
- Jackie Robinson Foundation, and more…

December 12, 2011This section on the Scholarship.com website contains a listing of scholarships for African-American students that will prove useful to a large audience of African-American students who need additional scholarship money to help pay for school.
This section on the Scholarship.com website contains a listing of scholarships for minorities. These include African American Scholarships, Native American Scholarships, Hispanic Scholarships and many more. Students of a wide variety of ethnicities will find they qualify for at least one of the scholarships for minorities listed on our site. A number of large scholarship funds exist to benefit members of specific ethnic groups, such as African American scholarships and Native American scholarships. Not all scholarships for minorities target United States-specific groups, either. For example, students in Canada may qualify for a number of aboriginal scholarships, whether they study at home or abroad. There are also many general scholarships for minorities, open to students from any underrepresented group.
