Jay-Z at Shawn Carter Foundation Press Conference.




Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation
APPLICATION DEADLINE is May 15th, 2012

Eligibility Requirements

Qualified applicants must be a high school senior, college student,
and/or between the ages of 18-25, pursuing studies at a vocational or
trade school. All applicants must have a minimum GPA of 2.5, be a US
Citizen and complete the on-line application no later than the published
deadline date, which is May 15, 2012.

The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation is unique in that it offers
scholarships to single mothers, children who attend alternative schools,
students who have earned a GED, students with grade point averages of
2.0 and students who have previously been incarcerated, etc. but desire
a higher educational opportunity. This group is generally not the
recipients of college scholarships and is typically ignored by the Board
of Education.

The Shawn Carter Foundation offers scholarship opportunities to any
under-served student across the United States who desires a higher
education. One of the key questions asked by the Foundation when
students apply for a scholarship is: What are your plans to give back to
the community?"
