Farwest Region Scholarship Initiative
In Partnership w/ the Julia Banks Williams Delta Associates Foundation
The Farwest Region is committed to expanding access to higher education by supporting students who reside in our region and pursuing their studies at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This initiative is designed to open doors, uplift potential, and strengthen institutions that have long shaped leaders, professionals, and community advocates.
​
By supporting HBCU students, we are investing in futures filled with possibility. These institutions offer more than academic preparation; they foster confidence, purpose, and a strong sense of community that continues long after graduation.
​
On this page, you will find everything needed to explore this opportunity, including the scholarship application, details about the types of scholarships available, and access to any required certification or supporting forms. We encourage you to review the information carefully and take the next step toward an opportunity created to support academic success and long-term impact.
