Procter & Gamble (P&G), in partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), announces the HBCYOU Scholarship Program. This initiative offers up to $2,500 to full-time undergraduate students at U.S. accredited four-year Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), supporting their path to graduation amid financial needs.

Eligibility for the scholarship requires full-time undergraduate enrollment at a U.S.-accredited four-year HBCU, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, and demonstrated unmet financial need verified via FAFSA. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or hold eligible immigration statuses (A03, A05, A12, C08, C33, C31, A11), with all majors considered.

The United Negro College Fund (UNCF), founded in 1944 by Frederick D.
