Scholarships
(Applications are not being accepted at
this time until further notice)
When NBDA was founded in 1982, one of its concerns was to strengthen
the educational and economic advancement of deaf/hard of hearing
African-Americans. That concern is still true of today, and one
of the ways NBDA is working on promoting educational advancement
is by providing educational scholarships to undergraduate and graduate
black deaf students and black interpreters-in-training. NBDA has
four scholarship programs:
- Andrew Foster
Scholarship, Gallaudet University: for Black deaf or hard
of hearing students with demonstrated financial need and a GPA
of 3.0 or better. Preference is given to those who demonstrate
a desire to advance the lives of Black deaf and hard of hearing
people.
- Y.E.S. Scholarship: educational scholarship for current and former participants
of NBDA's Youth Empowerment Summit (Y.E.S.) program.
