This engagement is a scholarship workshop to help students and parents effectively identify and submit college scholarships that you can attain as either a junior or senior in high school. 

I have comprised a list of 600 up-to-date scholarships that you can apply to, and I will send this list in a spreadsheet via Sparc message following the engagement to all the registrants that attend this workshop.

Since 1964, the Black Student Fund (BSF) has provided financial assistance and support services to Washington, DC metropolitan area African-American students, grades pre-kindergarten to 12, and their families. BSF-assisted students stay in school, graduate high school with distinction, and enter college. Seventy percent of these students are from one-parent households. Many are the first generation to progress to higher education.
