Student Opportunity Scholarships for Ethnic Minority Groups

Many churches and religious organizations offer scholarship money and scholarship grants to students.  The Presbyterian Church is no different.  Every year, the Presbyterian Church (USA) offers the Student Opportunity Scholarship for Ethnic Minority Groups. These scholarships are for students who are Presbyterians who are upper-division college students.  These scholarships are especially for students who are ethnic or racial minorities. This opportunity is also great, because it can be renewed so it keeps on giving!
