Alicia Diomande

The First Generation Scholarship for Underprivileged Students is funded by Alicia Diomande through Bold.org. This scholarship aims to support African American or Latinx students who are first-generation college students pursuing a four-year undergraduate degree. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by these students, the scholarship seeks to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with college applications and tuition, while also providing mentorship and guidance to help them succeed in their academic pursuits. The scholarship awards a total of $1,500, divided among three winners, each receiving $500.
