What Is UNCF Scholarship and Program Directory?
UNCF does not offer one universal scholarship with a single grade range, amount or deadline. Its live opportunity directory contains dozens of separately sponsored scholarships, internships, fellowships and programs for different high-school, college, graduate, faculty and geographic populations. Each listing controls its own award amount, eligible school/major/classification, GPA, residency, financial need, essays, documents and deadline.
As of August 21, 2026, the directory is open and highlights opportunities closing in August. Its featured MCTS Legacy Scholarship provides ten need-based awards only to Mobile County Training School attendees or descendants and lists August 31; that condition cannot be generalized to other students. Other current and recent programs have entirely different HBCU, state, major, donor, year-in-school and award rules.
