The BBPA National Scholarship Fund (formerly the BBPA Harry Jerome Scholarship Fund) was established in 1986 by the Black Business and Professional Association (BBPA) and is dedicated to supporting and promoting the achievement of academic excellence by Black Canadian youth pursuing post-secondary education.

The BBPA National Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to Black students attending a college or university in Canada and career counseling to high school students.

Recipients of BBPA National Scholarships must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents between the ages of 17 and 30 and must demonstrate high academic achievement, financial need and community involvement.

The BBPA National Scholarship Fund depends on the support of individuals, corporations and other donors to achieve its goal of helping Black youth attain post-secondary education. You may support us by donating to the General Fund, sponsoring a scholarship, donating to the Endowment Fund, sponsoring the Leaders of Tomorrow Program or the annual Choirfest event.

Online donations may be made to the General Fund, through canadahelps.org
