As the cost of attending college increases, financial hardship often serves as a barrier to gaining a college degree. The cost of tuition, room and board, and books can be overwhelming for college-bound students, particularly first-generation college students.
For over 10 years, Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, has chosen to assist in alleviating some of the financial burden through the Reach for the Gold Book Scholarship. Omega Phi Beta prides itself on its focus on academics and community involvement. Through this book scholarship we reward a female, college-bound freshman who demonstrates the same level of academic and benevolent achievement that we strive to achieve.
The Reach for the Gold Book Scholarships targets a woman of color who is a college-bound senior. The scholarship is an award of $1,000 and is applied to the high costs of college textbooks in the first year of college. Please read the eligibility criteria below.
