Unfortunately, many of those students can’t afford to get the education of their dreams.

We want these students to reach their full potential. To help them accomplish this, our network of U.S. Chapters, along with RMHC Global, offer scholarships to students in financial need who have demonstrated academic achievement, leadership and community involvement. Since 1985, more than $44 million in scholarships have been awarded.

Scholarships are for students in the United States living in areas where there are participating local RMHC Chapters. Please note that not all Chapters offer all four scholarships below. To view a complete list of participating RMHC Chapters, their respective counties and the scholarships they offer, please click here.

The deadline for the 2011/2012 academic year is January 27, 2012.

Invested funding to support our 2011 STEM enrichment program.  Specifically, support was used to hire a new technology/media instructor, restore school-year service to high school juniors and seniors, and implement a custom database for the organization.

AstraZeneca employees played a major role in revitalizing FAME in 2011.  Twenty (20) AZ employees were active in 2011.  Davida Baker, FAME Alum, presented the AZ African American Professional Network (AZAAN) with an opportunity to support FAME.  Through her relationships internally at AZ, she led the charge in getting other Alums involved in planning tours and speaking engagements.

LaWhan Blackett and Antoinette Liggians are FAME Alum that were committed to providing current students with a fantastic tour of the Newark, DE based manufacturing site.  Tanya Harris, Ron Martin, Harriet Kamendi, Dr. William Earley, Kenneth Ogada, Rod Lauzon, Johnson Huynh, Roshan Vijayakumar, Michelle Mack-Williams, Fred Daddi, Allison Gill, Li Xiong, Alycia Logue, Charles Gomes, Darien White, Sydney Revelle, and Sherry Epting were all active participants during our trip either serving as panelist, tour guides or Engineer educators.

As a global leader within the Pharmaceutical and Medical Science Industry, AZ did just what we expected: provided invaluable employee support, contributed financial resources, and committed to educating minority students and women.  With AZ, FAME serves more students, Alum and the community.

Invested resources to support technological advances for FAME Inc.!  With support from Barclays we are able to expand the organization’s virtual and mobile footprint in the community.

In 2011, our needs for new hardware and software to use as teaching tools for students evolved.  Enhanced hardware and software enabled faculty to improve the quality of hands on instruction and application our students engage in throughout the year.  FAME students are learning in a manner that is creative, fun, and cutting edge thanks to Barclays.

Barclay’s commitment to the community is obvious, but it is the energy that the Bank’s employees exhibit that is contagious.  Peri Hutt, FAME Alum, dedicated her time to ensure that minority children and girls who grew up in New Castle County, like she did, could have a chance to experience what she called “a life changing program.”

Ms. Hutt organized a fantastic tour and helped facilitate meetings between the Bank’s awesome community relations team (Jocelyn Stewart and Sarah Tanner) and Don Baker.  More than 15 employees participated in FAME’s visit to Barclays.  Our students are still buzzing about the mobile café!

We look forward to establishing a deeper relationship with the Bank and its committed, creative, employees.
