W. Michael Ross Scholarship
The W. Michael Ross Scholarship supports a meritorious undergraduate student majoring or minoring in African and African Diaspora Studies who has demonstrated their commitment to investigating issues related to justice and equality for African Americans. Factors such as academic study, research, advocacy, volunteerism, or community service will be considered to assess commitment to justice and equality. Demonstrated financial need as shown on the FAFSA is also required.
