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!
