The Dallas Chapter offers three scholarships:

• A four year general scholarship for students entering a four-year college program. From 2007-2019, we have been instrumental in awarding over $120,000 in local, regional, and national scholarships. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years as long as the student maintains his/her GPA.


• The Charlie Mae Warbington Technical Scholarship, named for a charter member and long-time educator, is awarded to students who choose fields of study, that are specialized such as culinary, medical assistant or other technical programs lasting less than four years.


• The Paul Quinn Scholarship is awarded each year to an incoming freshman attending Paul Quinn College. This scholarship was established by the Dallas chapter in 2013 to help support students at this local college.
