WHAT IS IT?
The CBC Spouses partnered with the University of Phoenix in 2008 to create the CBC Spouses Flexible Education Scholarship. Administered through the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc., 25 full-tuition scholarships will be awarded to students to seek an associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s degree online and or on campus at the University of Phoenix. The mission of the program is to advance educational opportunities for underrepresented and nontraditional groups in higher education. Preference will be given to applicants who are economically disadvantaged and who have experienced hardships, such as homelessness or inability to complete a previously started degree program.

HOW MUCH IS IT?
The CBC Spouses Flexible Education Scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship. Recipients will have their tuition and fees (including book fees) at the University of Phoenix covered. Once applicants have registered for their classes, a credit will be applied directly to their student account. There is no transfer of money with this scholarship.

WHO CAN APPLY?
All United States citizens and permanent residents who are not employees or family members of the Apollo Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries, CBC Members, CBCF staff, the CBCF Board of Directors or the CBCF Corporate Advisory Council are eligible for the CBC Spouses Flexible Education Scholarship. The CBC Spouses specifically encourage applicants who have experienced economic hardships that resulted in homelessness or the inability to complete a previously started degree program.
