Allied Cultures

The Collective Assessment of Racial Dialogue (CARD) program is one of the curriculums created under Allied Cultures. Its primary aim is to address the issues surrounding the general public when it comes to racism, discrimination and prejudice through a safe medium.

With CARD, Allied Cultures seeks to serve the population that is both untouched and ignored. This consists of people who have struggled with racism and discrimination, those victimized by it, proponents of it and others. This program is open to all peoples and all beliefs as it will adhere to its population’s stance on the aforementioned issues. Our target market consists of those individuals in society who are interested in channeling their beliefs, opinions and experiences with racism into a positive outlet where they can be both free to discuss these issues and learn something new as well. A secondary goal is to have interested individuals contribute their stories and experiences into a future book publication on anti-discrimination.

Throughout the year, Allied Cultures provides scholarships to deserving students in the United States who hold a passion for multiculturalism that mirrors our own. Students obtaining degrees in higher education are eligible to apply for our $500 scholarship. Students are encouraged to submit their applications early and can expect to hear a response within two months of receipt of application.

Applicants must provide a 1-2 paged, double spaced essay along with their application that focuses on ONE of the three topics as noted below.

How has diversity impacted your life?
