Supporting students beyond the award

OUR COMMITMENT

Scholarship is more than financial assistance. It is an investment in students as they pursue their goals, contribute to their campuses, and prepare to make a meaningful difference in their communities.

Through scholarships and book awards, Piedmont helps expand access to higher education while continuing a strong commitment to students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Investing in HBCU scholars

CONTINUING OUR COMMITMENT

During the 2025–2026 cycle, the chapter extended the impact of available HBCU book scholarship funds to two previous Piedmont scholars continuing their college journeys.

This stewardship reflects a commitment to supporting students not only as they begin higher education, but as they continue building toward their goals.
