Check out this post for an update on the scholarship. The deadline for this year’s scholarship is December 1, 2016. Next semesters scholarship submissions will be accepted starting December 2, 2016. Good luck!
At EmpireBBK, we value education and those in need. School is expensive and it can be extremely difficult for families to make ends meet. The current state of our economy is forcing institutions to limit their generosity in scholarships, so the average student takes on more debt than the generation before.

Not enough African American students apply for scholarships. Companies around the world donate money for scholarships to blacks, but a large amount of the money is returned because of a lack of awareness.
