Since 2011, Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated’s Alumnae Association has recognized and supported the professional and academic development of alumnae members of the sorority by awarding $500 annually to one grant recipient towards the pursuit of an advanced degree, professional certification, specialization, or license. The grant application is only available for members of the sorority, opens on June 18th, 2018 and closes at 11:59 p.m pst on July 6 th, 2018. All applicants must apply online via The Nest and the winner will be announced at National Convention in Los Angeles, California this year. Last year, the Alumnae Association awarded Maria Zepeda, who is currently earning her Master’s of Public Administration at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy & Governance.
“After just finishing my first year of my master’s program, it’s hard to believe how much I have learned and accomplished this year. I am incredibly grateful for the The Golden Calibri Grant in helping me with paying for books and fees that gave me a strong start to this year. I’m looking forward to next year where I can continue to serve as an Evans Student Ambassador, member of Evans Network of Women and co-chair for Partnership for Community & Diversity.”
We are excited to continue to support our amazing alumnae as they continue their professional and academic development.
