Ambrose Conrad McAuley (ACM) Scholarship

At Ariventures, we understand the challenges of studying abroad, but also the significant benefits it offers. That's why we've launched the ACM Scholarship program to support Black scholars pursuing graduate degrees overseas. This scholarship is specifically for Black Americans of African descent who seek to study and live abroad. Studying abroad is key for promoting cultural exchange, understanding, and highlighting the diversity of the Black diaspora.
