Minority Graduate Scholarships

Making the decision to gain a graduate degree is a noble pursuit. However, the cost of funding advanced degrees and postgraduate education can deter many from fulfilling this goal. Today there are several scholarships in place to aid those in ethnic minority groups in this quest. Requirements do vary, and some will require a commitment to service, but they are viable options for attaining this goal.
  1. The Judith McManus Price Scholarship

    • The Judith McManus Price Scholarship is one of several scholarships awarded under the American Planning Association. Recipients of the Judith McManus Price Scholarship can receive between $2,000 and $4,000 in funding that can be renewed annually. The scholarship is aimed at ethnic minority groups and women who wish to pursue a career in public sector planning. The Judith McManus Price Scholarship, as well as the other American Planning Association Awards, are intended for graduate study for students who demonstrate a financial need.
