why do we study hard?DiversityJobs.com’s scholarship program for diversity and minority students awards $2,000 three times annually to currently enrolled undergrads or graduate students from registered schools in the US.  The remaining deadlines this year are  April 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 and there is no application fee.

For students to be eligible, their school must be registered.  Check our registered schools list  – if your school is not registered, please follow the instructions below.   Please contact us with any questions.

How to register for the DiversityJobs Scholarship:

  1. The student’s school can register for the scholarship program simply by placing two links on the school’s website (one linking to DiversityJobs’ scholarship area and one linking to DiversityJobs’ career opportunities area) as shown with the Link Codes below. Usually these links are placed on career resources and scholarship pages within a school’s website.
  2. Once the school has added these links to its webpage, any faculty member can simply send an email to scholarships@diversityjobs.com with the subject “Scholarship Registration” and the web page(s) where the links have been placed in the body of the email. DiversityJobs will quickly confirm that the school has been registered.
