NATIONAL CONGRESS OF BLACK WOMEN 

The purpose of the conference is to Empower, Uplift, Educate and Elevate together. The conference is an example of NCBW’s commitment to enhancing the lives of Black Women and Girls in Kansas City. The goal of the conference is to provide the community with an avenue to connect, learn and network with others from across the Kansas City area. This conference not only benefits women and girls directly, but also the community by providing a venue to discuss issues and provide solutions. Conference workshops include education, access to employment certification and interactive training sessions and so much more. The event will provide a forum for exchanging ideas, personal development and sharing information and resources. The event requires registration. Breakfast and lunch are provided for all attendees and program participants.

The educational scholarships are awarded to traditional college students who are graduating high school Seniors and non-traditional current college students in need, that meet the scholarship eligibility requirements. Each scholarship recipient receives $1,000 to go towards tuition and education essentials. Each year at our premier fundraiser, Annual Scholarship and Awards Gala, NCBW-KC awards 10 scholarships and honors community members and organization for the great work they do in the Kansas City communities serving the population we serve, underserved persons and youth. Scholarship recipients are awarded in November at The Ebony Rose Scholarship & Awards Gala where guests will hear from scholarship recipients on their education and career goals, personal stories of triumph and success. Gala proceeds help sustain the scholarship fund and longevity of the scholarship program. Scholarships are paid out in the following year.
