Description

The American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) is a professional organization of African Americans in the energy industry. Through its Scholarship Program, AABE seeks to help increase the number of African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans (underrepresented minorities) in energy related fields. The William Grant Pinkard Scholarship was named after a member of the Kansas-Missouri Chapter of the AABE who best exemplified the organization's purpose and goals. William Grant Pinkard, II was a dedicated and active member. Applicants must have, minimally, an overall "B" unweighted academic average (3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale); be a graduating high school senior who has applied to one or more accredited colleges/universities; plan to major in business, one of the physical sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics fields; and be a member of one of a class or group of individuals who has been historically underrepresented in the sciences, technology, engineering and math related disciplines. A William Grant Pinkard Scholar may renew the scholarship for a second year provided documentation that all scholarship guidelines and criteria have been sustained. Two letters of recommendation are required. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for more information.
