ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP

A Detroit-based organization that learned of NAAPID’s success pledged in 2016 to grant $10,000 scholarships to ten Black male high school graduating seniors from the Seattle area. This organization never fulfilled its promises to these young men which significantly and negatively impacted their educational plans. One young man delayed enrollment, another dropped out after first semester due to financial hardship, while the remaining families were forced to take out more loans.

MoHundred decided to stand in the gap for these young men and rally the local community around them and their families to help make their college dreams come true by creating the MoHundred Scholarship.
