Black Women in Sisterhood for Action, Inc. (BISA)

Since 1981, BISA has been operating a successful scholarship program targeted for inner-city and financially needy young black high school women to attend college and universities across America. First criterion for selection is financial need, second, they demonstate potential for academic growth and leadership and third, they are able to provide some clues about their career goals. BISA's scholarship assistance program is clearly targeted for disenfranchised and economically disadvantaged young black women.
For the last 25 years, BISA has published annual calendars and books on Distinguished Black Women, who serve as role models and mentors for members and scholarship recipients. These publications are disseminated across America in libraries of schools, universities, colleges, bookstores, public libraries, conferences and BISA's scholarship recipients.
