Alpha Grants by Bro. Millard R. Dean Five honor graduates of four Negro high schools were awarded college scholarship funds by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Dr. Clifton R. Jones, Director of Educational Activities and Professor of Sociology at Morgan State College, along with the General President, Dr. William Hale, President, Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma, announced the awards of seventeen scholarships and fellowships, totaling approximately $10,000 to high school seniors, undergraduates, and
Scholarships graduate students for study this year. Dr. Jones states that the number a p plying was higher than ever and the competition greater in all categories since the first awards of $100.00 each to students at the Convention in 1928 at Atlanta, Ga., and now about twentytwo awards with a minimum of $450.00. Bro. Dr. William H. Hale, General President, says that the fraternity is studying the possibility of increasing the $450 each to $1,000, but is confronted with the great number of d e serving students. Therefore, it might be preferable to double the students covering more applicants.
