TBN Scholarship Fund

The Black Neighborhood Scholarship Fund (TBNSF) was founded on the belief that quality education is the birthright to all and is the key to liberation. While we encourage individuals to pursue higher education, we understand there may be obstacles that stifle their pursuit. Our first scholarship will be in the amount of $2,000, which will be awarded to graduating high school seniors for tuition and related supplemental educational expenses.
