Together with @tmcf_hbcu, we’re increasing completion rates among minority and underserved students by awarding up to 250 gap #scholarships this fall. See official rules: https://t.co/SJljqL5dxM

68% is the lowest level of #FAFSA completions in the 14-year history of the #HowAmericaPays study.

Almost a third of families aren't filling out the FAFSA form, according to a recent survey by Sallie Mae. https://t.co/yxdFshrgYs

@tmcf_hbcu @SallieMae And we know college grads earn $1 million more over a lifetime than those without degrees! #BridgingTheDream #TMCFSallieMae

[Ashley Boucher @AshleyRBoucher]

@tmcf_hbcu @SallieMae Cheers to helping more students earn their degrees! #BridgingTheDream #TMCFSallieMae

[Ashley Boucher @AshleyRBoucher]

The #BridgingTheDream scholarships were designed to increase access and completion rates among minority students, first-generation college students, and students from historically underserved communities! #TMCFSallieMae

[Dee-1 @Dee1music]

Are the #BridgingtheDream scholarships going to be as equally as available to minorites and marginalized communities as they will be to everyone else? @SallieMae

[Jennifer Ruiz @RuJennifer]

@ConnorPeoples3 @SallieMae @tmcf_hbcu I wish this sort of #scholarship was around when I was in school. What an amazing opportunity for those students needing that little extra help to complete college! #BridgingTheDream @tmcf_hbcu

[TMCF @tmcf_hbcu]

@SallieMae A8: Preparing for college requires researching the university you’re interested in attending. Go to the school’s website, look at their graduation rates, study the programs and majors they offer. Visit the campus, even virtually. #BridgingTheDream https://t.co/pB90auoruW

[Ashley Boucher @AshleyRBoucher]

Research potential career opportunities for your desired major (and even look up the average starting salaries for majors, too, so you're as informed as possible). #BridgingTheDream #TMCFSallieMae

[SallieMae @SallieMae]

Q8: What are some other ways students can help prepare for college? #BridgingTheDream

[Ashley Boucher @AshleyRBoucher]

@tmcf_hbcu @SallieMae 260 college students will be awarded this year! These gap scholarships are so important. #BridgingTheDream #TMCFSallieMae

@SallieMae A7. @SallieMae is offering nearly 800 #CompletingTheDream scholarships. These scholarships will aid college students in their final year of study, who are at-risk of not completing school due to finances. For more info, visit https://t.co/4mY3Dfx59E #SallieMaeTMCF

Q7: We may be a little biased, but the #CompletingTheDream Scholarship is definitely one we’re excited about! What should students know about it?

[Ashley Boucher @AshleyRBoucher]

@tmcf_hbcu @SallieMae And don't forget to file the #FAFSA! One of the most important ways to qualify for scholarships (and grants, work-study, and other types of aid) for college. #BridgingTheDream #TMCFSallieMae

[Ashley Boucher @AshleyRBoucher]

@tmcf_hbcu @SallieMae Plenty of tools (free tools, bonus) to find those scholarships, too. Including Sallie Mae's Scholarship Search. Last year alone, 24,000 students found scholarships, covering $67 million in college costs! It pays to search. #BridgingTheDream https://t.co/aLaQUQu9yV

[TMCF @tmcf_hbcu]

@SallieMae A5. First, decide your major and research which #HBCU is best for your field of study. Then start the application process (filling out your FAFSA application to find federal grants) Search for local/national scholarships, too. #BridgingTheDream

@SallieMae A4. #HBCUAlums are doing great work in their community and for the nation. Their contributions and passion continue to push the country forward to reach new heights, from the work of @StaceyAbrams in the Georgia election to the innovation of Rosalind Brewer, @Starbucks COO.

[TMCF @tmcf_hbcu]

@SallieMae A3: #HBCUs are campuses that have fostered young minds for generations and builds better leaders of tomorrow. The impact of creating a family away from home and networking with your peers is an invaluable, unmatched experience. HBCUs provide professional/personal development.

[TMCF @tmcf_hbcu]

@SallieMae A2. Roll call! All of the @TMCF member-schools, public and private #HBCUs report to this post. Some of our member-schools include the following: @aamuedu, @uncfsu, @FVSU, @udc_edu, @TuskegeeUniv, @FAMU_1887, @DelStateUniv, @BowieState, @HowardU #HBCULove #BridgingTheDream

A1. The Title III of the #HigherEducation Act of 1965 officially defined a Historically Black College and University, as a school of higher learning that is accredited and established before 1964, and whose principal mission was and is the education of African-Americans.
