Educational Development
For over four decades, the Fort Wayne Alumnae Chapter has been dedicated to bestowing scholarships upon deserving students of color during their senior year of high school. The Floretta A. Clancy Memorial Scholarship, established in memory of Charter member Clancy, who passed away in July 1973, is presented on an annual basis. To date, we have granted scholarships totaling more than $50,000.
Our youth programs are thoughtfully crafted to equip young girls with the essential tools they need to embrace their inner strength and recognize their inherent worth. Following each session, our aim is for these young girls to depart with a strong sense of positivity and empowerment, fully prepared to embrace the world with their unique brand of Black girl magic. Please review our youth programs below.
