2024 Scholarships

Scholarship Amounts Range from $2,000 to $10,000

In 2024, the National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA) will continue its prestigious Scholarship Program. This initiative seeks to honor exceptional scholarship and leadership among African American and minority students currently pursuing full-time education at accredited, traditional four-year colleges or universities, with a preference for those attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), particularly those engaged in public service.

NFBPA provides several scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students through its partnerships with corporate supporters, public sector organizations, and individual contributors.

The Scholarship Program is an integral part of NFBPA’s goal of lending support to African American and other minority students interested in leadership roles in public service. Applicants may apply for multiple scholarships or other NFBPA financial awards. If selected, the applicant can receive only one award.
