The Mordican Foundation Scholarships are awarded to recent high school graduates entering Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Our goal is to support HBCU students so they can focus on their education and achieve their academic and career goals. These scholarships go beyond financial aid - they offer students the opportunity to connect with a network of like-minded learners.

By investing in the future of these young scholars, we empower them to drive positive change in our communities.

Program Benefits

  • Financial Support for Scholars: Receive at least $1,000 at the start of the school year. This mini-scholarship can be used for textbooks, living expenses, technology, fees, and emergency needs, alleviating financial stress and allowing students to focus on their studies.

  • Essentials for Scholars Package: Receive dorm room essentials, personal care items, school supplies, and gift cards to help ease the transition into college life. This giveaway supports students' well-being, academic success, and independence.
