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.
In honor of Black History Month, Regions Bank is continuing its tradition of celebrating men and women who paved the way for future generations with the Regions Riding Forward® Scholarship Essay Contest.
High School seniors are eligible to enter for a $5,000 scholarship, and college freshman, sophomores and juniors are eligible to enter for a $3,500 scholarship.
