Share your UNCF Story

Have you received a UNCF scholarship or internship? Did you graduate from a UNCF-member college? How did your experience change your life? What challenges did you face—academic, social or financial—getting to and through college? What advice would you give to someone in the same situation?

Why share your UNCF story? More than half of the students getting their education at a UNCF institution or with a UNCF scholarship are the first in their families to go to college. Your experience could help them pick the right college or help them pay for their education.

Just write a brief account of your experience or record a video of your story on your smart phone. Then fill out the form below, upload your picture or video and click “submit.”

Invest a few minutes of your time to help future students get the education they need because “A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.”®
