Young Caribbean Professional Network Scholarship 2022

The Young Caribbean Professional Network (YCPN) will be again offering scholarships through the YCPN Scholarship Fund in 2022. These awards will be distributed during our International Awards and Scholarship Ceremony on October 19th 2022. During this flagship event we will celebrate our past as well as current scholars, highlight the fundraising efforts we do in the Community, and facilitate networking amongst yourselves and powerful Caribbean leaders and executives. This ceremony itself is also a fundraiser that will help us continue our support of needy college students in Philadelphia and Caribbean high school students attending the Penn Relays. YCPN is dedicated to creating access to education and economic opportunities for diverse students and young professionals in the global market-place. 

Each scholarship will be in the region of $2,500.00 and will be targeted to Minority, Caribbean, and/or Latino students at local and regional universities. To qualify, students must:

• Be a full-time student enrolled at a university
• Have a GPA of 2.5 or above
• Be involved in community service

Additionally, students receiving the scholarship agree to become ambassadors for YCPN in their respective communities by promoting the organization, volunteering, and participating in YCPN events.
