Making college a reality through the provision of scholarships for eligible students graduating from Denton ISD's high schools.
Denton African American Scholarship Foundation, seeks volunteers to work with the Denton Black Film Festival. The film festival is a fundraising arm of the Scholarship Foundation. The skill sets of volunteers should include expert abilities in working with social media, technology, audio and sound systems.
Given that the cost of post-secondary education has increased multi-fold over the last decade, affording college is a far reaching dream for many high school graduates. In an effort to assure that youth have an opportunity to pursue their dream of earning a college degree, the Denton African American Scholarship Foundation engages in fund-raising initiatives to help fulfill a high school senior's dream of attaining a college education.
