Black Alumni Scholarship

Intended to help make an Elon education available to deserving Black students, the Black Alumni Scholarship was established in 2007. Thanks to pledges and gifts from EBAN members and friends of the university, the scholarship was endowed in just three years and the first award was given to Janelle Bennett ’14 at the African-American Commencement Reception in May 2011.

To date, alumni and friends have donated more than $1,000,000 to the Black Alumni Scholarship, and the scholarship will be awarded annually to a high-achieving African-American student with demonstrated financial need.
