The NBMBAA Scholarship Program, offered by the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA), supports students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees with a strong focus on business, finance, management, economics, and other related fields that align with the goals of the organization. The program aims to increase opportunities for Black students and other underrepresented populations in business leadership and professional careers, empowering scholars with financial aid and access to a network of professionals and mentors.

NBMBAA scholarships are awarded annually and are funded through contributions from corporate partners, individual donors, and NBMBAA chapters.
