UNCF Liberty Scholarships

UNCF Liberty ScholarshipOn Thursday, October 25, 2001, UNCF and its 39 member colleges and universities announced in New York the establishment of the UNCF Liberty Scholarship for children of victims of the September 11th terrorists attacks. The children, regardless of age, race, creed or color, will be provided full scholarships for enrollment in any of the 39 member colleges and universities .

UNCF is not setting up a special fund for this initiative. UNCF is using the generous support the organization has received over the years to give back to communities and help build a stronger America.

As we reflect on this horrendous tragedy and seek hope for the future, we are reminded of our own mission at the United Negro College Fund. Never before has it been more important to educate the future leaders of our country. Never before has the burden of our responsibility seemed as imperative as it does today.
