If you are a Black or African American looking for financial aid, this is the directory for you. Described here are more than 1,250 scholarships, fellowships, loans, grants, awards, and internships - representing billions of dollars - open specifically to Black/African Americans.

This money can be used to support a whole range of activities, including:

• study
  
• training
  
• research
  
• creative activities
  
• future projects
  
• professional development
  
• work experience

The listings cover every major subject area, are sponsored by hundreds of private and public agencies and organizations, and are open to Black/African Americans at any level, from high school and college through professional and postdoctoral.

The directory has been designed so you can quickly identify available funding by specific subject, sponsor, title, residency requirements, where the money can be spent, type of funding, and deadline date.

Plus, every piece of information is here that you'll need in order to decide if a funding opportunity is right for you: purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date.

You even get fax numbers, toll-free numbers, email addresses and websites, along with complete contact information.
