Washington, D.C. (March 11, 2021) - Color Vision, an organization and community for multigenerational creative women of color, has announced its partnership with digital media giant BuzzFeed, to create a new “Creative Woman on The Rise” Scholarship.
The scholarship will offer financial assistance to outstanding sophomores, juniors and seniors attending Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs). One scholar will be selected to receive $500 for the 2021-2022 academic school year. Applications close April 15th.
"We know first-hand that students of color are often at a disadvantage when it comes to equal funding and resources for higher education,” said Mia Davis, Color Vision’s Founder and CEO. “We're so grateful that BuzzFeed is committed to giving back with our first ever Creative Woman on the Rise Scholarship."
