The
BlackNews.com Spring 2008 Scholarship will award $500
to an African-American student. The scholarship is NOT
an academic scholarship - It is entirely based on an
essay submission.
Who's Eligible?
To be eligible for the scholarship award, one or
both of your parents must be African-American. The award
is not open to students who live in Africa. You must
live in the United States, and attend or plan to
attend a school in the United States. The institution
you choose can be any trade school, college, or university.

2) After you register with BlackNews.com, you
have until April 31, 2008 to write a 500 word essay
on why you feel black newspapers, magazines, TV and
radio stations are necessary. In others words, why is
there a need to have the Black press?
Your submission must be emailed to: scholarship@blacknews.com
Do not submit your essay through postal mail.
Important
Guidelines:
The subject of your email must be: "BlackNews.com
Spring 2008 Scholarship". Also, your essay submission
must be within the body of the email along with your
name and contact info. Do
not email your essay as an attachment.
If you do not follow these instructions precisely, your
entry will be disregarded.
We will review all submissions and select a winner based
on the quality, uniqueness, and creativity of the content
in your essay. By May 30th, the winner will be awarded
$500. We will not publish the winning essay,
but will announce the name of the winner, and the school
he/she attends. If you are the winner, the check
will be written out to you, not your school. So really
you can use the money however you'd like to.
Important Note:
For

us at support@blacknews.com
-- However, we will not respond to pointless inquiries
or questions that have already been answered on this
