The National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA) is pleased to announce its 2021 Scholarship Program. The NFBPA Scholarship Program is designed to recognize African American or other minority students who are currently enrolled full-time at an accredited, traditional four-year college or university, preferably an HBCU, who exemplify outstanding scholarship, and leadership, particularly as related to public service.

We invite undergraduate and graduate students to participate in this year’s program as we look forward to making this year’s scholarship awards. NFBPA provides several scholarships to college students each year through partnerships with corporate supporters, public sector organizations and individual contributors.

I am McKenzye’ Jamison. I am freshman, chemistry major at Fisk University. I was wondering how I can apply to these scholarships? I am able to locate them through their websites, but I am unable to access the applications.
