Black Girl Vitamins has made their mission to help Black women who attend HBCUs. In their latest effort to help HBCU students, they have unveiled a new scholarship geared towards Black women at HBCUs who aspire to work in the medical field.

Black Girl Vitamins will quadruple the current scholarship program and invest $100,000 over the next two years to promote education, provide vital financial help, acknowledge efforts, and provide them a stage to tell their story. With each purchase made by its customers, Black Girl Vitamins proves their commitment to changing lives, communities, and investing in the future generation of healthcare professionals through this scholarship program.

Another instance of Black Girl Vitamins‘ dedication to health justice is their multi-year partnership with Howard University’s women’s basketball team. In 2024, the corporation has so far donated $100,000 worth of vitamins.

“BGV’s vision is to positively impact health outcomes for Black Women in America, and we believe sponsoring the future generation of healthcare providers can help accomplish making this impact,” said Jennifer Juma, Head of Strategy at Black Girl Vitamins.

Students can go to the Black Girl Vitamin website to apply. Applications will be open on a rolling basis, and the winners will be announced before the end of November. The Black Girl Vitamins’ leadership team and medical advisors will choose the winners of the scholarship. Four students will receive $1,000 a month to help with their expenses. Here are more details on the scholarship:

Eligibility:

– Target Audience: Black women enrolled in accredited medical programs (nursing, pharmacy, medicine, public health, etc.).
