Educational Leadership Grants and Scholarships for Black Men
74A Call For Mentors
Lack of black educational leadership in grade schools across the country is a big problem, especially for African American students, the black male in particular. For black males, the high school drop out rate is staggering. However, a successful solution to this challenge is to organize a campaign encouraging more black male professionals to invest in educational leadership. Black males need mentors and role models who can provide direction with patience and understanding. Below is a list of grants and scholarships for those individuals interested in pursuing a career in educational leadership.
