Our mission is to document and preserve Black heritage, culture, and scholarship and use it to encourage, empower, and uplift current and future generations through scholarly engagement, art, and artistic expression, while cultivating critical thought.

The Robert Whitehead Scholarship Program

The Robert Whitehead Scholarship Program was established in honor of Robert "Bobby" Whitehead and his dedication to the attainment of a post-secondary education by all students, regardless of income.

 

Scholarships will be given based on the funds available for the program. Please plan to support the scholarship through donations and by planning to attend the annual black tie event fundraiser.

 

Primary eligibility for consideration includes the student having been accepted into college through the College Round-Up program. For more details and a scholarship application, please contact us at 252.883.2667

 

Congratulations to our 2013 Scholarship winners:

 

Daquan Battle who has gone on to attend North Carolina A & T

Chanquela Ruffin who has gone on to attend University of North Carolina Greensboro

Kayla Pettaway who has gone on to attend St. Augustine's

 

We are proud to be able to support our students in their effort to secure a better future for themselves and their families.
