Black Gives Back has information on the Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholarship.

The Foundation provides four-year college scholarships to minority students with records of academic achievement, leadership capacity, civic engagement and financial need.

RespectRX tells us about the Chicks Who Click Scholarship

CWC believes in supporting young women in reaching their potential. We’ve created a privately funded scholarship to help one young woman pay for her community college education in pursuit of a career in media, journalism, creative arts, communications, or girls’ & women’s advocacy.

On a related note, if you know students in college, YouIntern can help them get the inside information on internships. It also is a place for employers to post internships.
