2022 event details coming soon!
Not merely the absence of tension but the presence of justice
our community commitment
Since 1993, we have awarded more than 320+ scholarships to Chapel Hill and Orange County high school and college students who have demonstrated a commitment to community involvement and improvement through their civic, educational and religious activities.
The scholarships are awarded without regard to race, religion or creed and place special emphasis on financial need.
We hope you will join with us and support our funding efforts to help build a greater sense of community while helping deserving young people embrace the opportunity of getting a college education.
