Minority specific scholarships are designed to make a college education more accessible to exceptional students from otherwise underrepresented communities. A large proportion of these minority scholarships are designed to benefit students, and particularly African-Americans, who are pursuing their studies in the highly competitive STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ) fields. Further scholarship opportunities can be found for African-American students studying business, education and medicine. All of these fields have traditionally been dominated by white males, and it has become both a social and economic imperative to encourage African-Americans, and other minorities, to pursue careers in these much needed fields.
