    Arthalia E. Jackson, a charter member of Lambda Alpha Omega, was an educator and a talented musician. The scholarship in her name originated by the charter members in Lambda Alpha Omega to honor her legacy - that it would impact the lives of the youth who were granted one of the scholarships. The amount varies each year depending on the availability of funds that the chapter has raised from fundraisers. This award was initiated as a way to give back to the community that she serviced.

     

    The application period is now closed.
