This program is designed to reduce the financial pressure of the deserving candidates and make education affordable for them. The primary motivation behind the program is that every student who is passionate about his or her goals should get an opportunity to complete their education without financial barriers.
UNCF is known as a blessing for students for providing several different educational programs that ultimately reduce financial barriers and make academics accessible to everyone. UNCF’s North Star is to increase the total annual number of African American college graduates by focusing on activities that ensure more students are college-ready, enroll in college, and persist to graduation. This is done through a three-pillar strategy. Positioning member institutions as a viable college option for students and investing in institutional capacity to improve student outcomes; creating transformational support programs to ensure students are enrolling and persisting through college completion; building awareness of educational attainment and cultivating college-going behaviors within the African American community.
