Each year, the BBPA National Scholarships award 50 Black students pursuing post-secondary studies with various scholarships. These scholarships are donated by individuals, organizations and corporations. The BBPA National Scholarships administers these scholarships in trust to students who are talented, upstanding members of their community, and are determined not to allow financial challenges to deter their success.
The BBPA National Scholarships were established in 1986 and has remained dedicated to assisting and recognizing the achievement of academic excellence by Black Canadian youth, through an annual scholarship program. The scholarships are granted to students enrolled in higher education and are based on a number of criteria, including academic performance, financial need and community service.
This year will be our 32nd Anniversary, marking one of our organization’s major milestones in supporting the community and assisting our youth in striving for excellence as they continue to make history and shape our global society.
The fund receives annual, financial donations from some of Canada’s most profitable corporations, organizations and successful individuals, all of whom share its mission to support the education and development of Canada’s future leaders.
