Deadlines approaching for Tom Joyner Foundation 2013-14 Scholarships

dennys_hungry_for_education_scholarship_program(BlackNews.com) – The 2013-2014 Denny’s Hungry For Education Scholarship program is back, and aims to recognize students by awarding deserving high school and college students with scholarships for their ideas to help Denny’s efforts to fight childhood hunger.

The scholarships will be given away in partnership with many organizations including the Tom Joyner Foundation, Urban League of the Upstate, and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.

For the Tom Joyner Foundation scholarships, the applicant must be a full-time enrolled student, and have one of the qualifying declared majors. He/she must also have a demonstrated financial need, and be in good academic standing.

For the Urban League scholarships, applicants must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. Grades and academic performance will serve as indicators of potential; however, an emphasis may be placed on the individuals essay submission.
