Alpha Kappa Alpha Jeanetta Welch Brown Scholarship

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Jeanetta Welch Brown Scholarship was established in 1994, by the Zeta Theta Omega Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., in honor of its distinguished member of 58 years, Jeanetta Welch Brown. A retired Job Corps Community Relations Specialist, and Washington lobbyist, she was instrumental in securing the multi-million dollar U.S. Dept. of Labor grant, which through the years has resulted in the provision of a residential educational intervention program for hundreds of high school dropouts.

The scholarship will be awarded annually to a male or female who has a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.7 and has participated in community and extracurricular activities. Final selection of the recipient will be made by the sorority. Priority of consideration will be given to full-time enrollees.
