The Scholarship Program is one of Omega Psi Phi’s mandated programs promote academic excellence among the undergraduate members. Graduate chapters provide financial assistance to student members and non-members in their respective communities.

The Founders of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. recognized the importance of the intellect in all matters pertaining to the advancement of humankind. As such, they made Scholarship one of the Fraternity’s four Cardinal Principles: Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift.

Scholarship is no side issue – it is an integral and deep-rooted component of this organization. Every member, Chapter, and District of the Fraternity is dedicated to Scholarship. Thus, the Charles R. Drew Memorial Scholarship Commission (CRDMSC) was formed to give international recognition to future leaders of society and to foster scholastic achievement in the Fraternity.

Funding for all scholarship and grants is provided each year through a generous donation by the Omega Life Membership Foundation, Inc. (http://www.olmf.org/)

Deadline for the Third District 3 March 2017.

The Scholarship Committee is now accepting Graduate and Undergraduate applications. The Scholarship Committee is encouraging all applicants to use this link to review the scholarship and grant guidelines for eligibility and complete an application packet to include a typed application, official transcripts and three reference letters.
