Project Title: Coco Scholars
Project Description:

In the heart of Coco lies a profound commitment to uplifting Black college women, inspired by the founders’ parents’ passions. Since 2020, the Coco Scholar Program has offered 3-5 scholarships annually. Now, aiming to broaden its impact, we seek to increase either the amount or quantity of awards granted each year.

The program’s objectives are clear: empower Black college women by providing financial assistance and resources, foster excellence in Health, Civic Engagement, and the Arts, and cultivate leadership skills. It addresses systemic barriers to ensure equitable access to education and professional opportunities.

Operating within three categories – Health, Civic Engagement, and the Arts – the program invites applications from Black college women enrolled in accredited institutions. Recipients receive personalized mentorship, networking opportunities, and ongoing support. A dedicated committee selects scholars based on merit and alignment with program objectives.

The Coco Scholar Program is more than financial aid; it’s a catalyst for change. By nurturing the dreams of Black college women, it fosters a community of leaders and changemakers. It is a beacon of hope, reminding us that no dream is too big when fueled by passion and purpose. Through its unwavering commitment, Coco paves the way for a brighter, more equitable future.
