To commemorate Black History Month and to help her listeners achieve their academic and career dreams, syndicated air personality DeDe McGuire and her foundation will once again be awarding five listeners $2,500 tuition scholarships for study at a HBCU institution. The foundation is dedicated to helping students of all backgrounds realize their full potential and the scholarship is just another way to do that.

Throughout the month of February, McGuire will be promoting her "Achieve the Dream" Scholarship on her Dallas-based, syndicated radio show "DeDe in the Morning." The scholarship's primary goal is to assist economically challenged individuals by offering scholarships to a college or university degree from a Historically Black College University (HBCU).

McGuire commented, "Black History Month is about recognizing our legacy and contributions to society. What better way to continue that legacy than with a scholarship that furthers education at one of the 100 HBCU campuses."

Submissions are due February 28 and scholarships will be announced March 6. Listeners of her K104 show and of her Compass Media Networks' syndicated show are eligible to apply.
