The Maurice Williams Scholarship:The chapter awards a maximum of $5,500 in scholarships each year to graduating minority high school female students through proceeds from our Bowling For Scholars Party, online florist (www.NuXiOmegaFlowers.org), and other fundraising activities. One scholarship is awarded based on community service, the other is awarded for academic accomplishments. We also provide funds to past award recipients, which is in line with our goal of supporting young women throughout their college career.
The DIAMOND and PEARLS Scholarship: This award is sponsored by The DIAMOND Foundation, Inc., the philanthropic foundation of the New Brunswick Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in partnership with P.E.A.R.L.S., Inc. The DIAMOND Foundation's primary mission is to provide educational opportunities to children in need. The Foundation supports this initiative with the cooperation of P.E.A.R.L.S. by selecting a young man annually to receive this award.
