A group dedicated to eliminating the achievement gap between Black young men and their peers of other races has awarded $42,000 in scholarships to 42 Black graduating seniors in Central Virginia. Each of the scholarships awarded was worth $1,000 and given to a rising college first-year who participated in one of 100 Black Men of Central Virginia's community programs or community service and had an overall grade point average of at least 3.0. The 100 Black Men of Central Virginia group is a chapter of the national nonprofit 100 Black Men of America, a nonprofit which offers mentoring, tutoring and college preparation opportunities to Black male students with the goal of eliminating the achievement gap.
