H. Chatman
Memorial Scholarship
for African-American Males |
|
Since 1987, the Chapter has coordinated and given
the Luke H. Chatman Memorial Scholarship which last
year gave three $4,000.00 scholarship ($1,000 for four years),
and has
given more than $90,000 in scholarships to worthy local high
school students.
In 2003, the chapter changed the scholarship award to one
$4,000.00 scholarship, $1,000 per year for four years. This new
direction
is new effort to encourage throughout their college career.
Funding for the scholarship is collected from the proceeds
of the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Scholarship Gala. Gamma Gamma
Lambda Chapter has also changed the primary focus of the scholarship
to prefer
African-American Males.
These scholarships are based on the whole person concept, which
encompasses academic achievement, leadership, citizenship, athletics
and service to the community. Also, an applicant's financial
need will be considered in the selection of the scholarships.
As started in 2004, the scholarship application requires two
letters of reference from the community.
