ALBANY — The Eta Omicron Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has awarded a total of $5,000 in scholarships to five students for the 2015-16 school year.
The scholarship recipients are Durrann Brown, an Albany High School graduate who’s attending Morehouse College; Monroe Comprehensive High School graduates RaShawn Hall, who’s attending Tuskegee University, and Brenton Truitt, who’s attending Point University, and Westover High School graduates Demetris McCray, who’s attending the University of Georgia, and Adam Landin, who’s attending Mercer University.
The funds were raised at the June 13 22nd annual Charles Booker/Nathaniel Cross Purple and Gold “Strokes for Scholarships” Golf Tournament at Lake Blackshear Golf Course in Cordele. This annual scholarship golf tournament is the primary fundraiser for the Eta Omicron Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., with donations to the non-profit Omega Education Foundation supporting scholarships for area youth.
With the support of area businesses and individuals who signed on as hole Sponsors, officials with the organization said they were able to significantly increase the number and amount of scholarship funds compared to 2014.
“We could not have given away this level of scholarship funds without the support of our partners. They make it possible for us to support area youth,” said Terry Blutcher, the tournament chair. Read Full Story
