DTLR HBCU Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

DTLR, Inc. has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors who are pursuing higher education at a historically black college or university (HBCU).

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or national origin.

Applicants to the DTLR HBCU Scholarship Program must:

    • Be high school seniors who are graduating in 2022 and plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate study at HBCU university or college for the 2022-2023 academic year.
    • Have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • Statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances
  • An online recommendation.

Financial need is not considered.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of DTLR, Inc. play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,000 award. Up to five (5) awards will be granted. Awards are one-time only. Past recipients may not reapply.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.
