HBCU Scholarship - Saint Louis Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

We recognized that we did not have a scholarship dedicated to promoting Black excellence through Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In response, the 7th Chapter Scholarship was created to provide financial support for students attending HBCUs. This scholarship assists with room and board, books, and tuition to help ensure students have the resources needed to succeed.

The Saint Louis Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter HBCU Scholarship will be awarded to any high school seniors planning to attend an accredited historically black college or university.   Applicants should have shown leadership potential and engagement in their communities.

Eligibility Criteria

  • High School Senior
  • Planning to attend an HBCU
  • Resident of the St. Louis Metropolitan area – St. Louis city, the Missouri counties of St. Louis, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, St. Charles, or Warren, and the Illinois counties of Bond, Calhoun, Clinton, Jersey, Macoupin, Madison, Monroe, or St. Clair.
