Write About an African-American Who Inspires You – You Could Win a Scholarship!
When you’re the parent of a teenager, one of the main topics of discussion between you and your child is about what’s next after high school. As a single mother, this topic is always on my mind and the most important part of the conversations is how we will pay for college. Thank goodness for scholarships! There are several scholarship opportunities that could help your child earn money to pay for college, and Regions Bank has a great scholarship that could help eliminate some of your worries.
