ABOUT OUR SCHOLARSHIPS:
In 1998, the chapter named four scholarships for notable FAMU alumni members
from the Washington DC Chapter, who have made lasting contributions to the
chapter and local communities.

 

The Chapter offers three types of Scholarships:

Annie B. Pharr Endowment Scholarship

Chapter Scholarships

Fallen Rattler “Memorial” Scholarships

CHAPTER SCHOLARSHIPS:

  • David Bryant – The late David Bryant was a charter member with 55 years of active
    participation at the local, regional and national levels. David is highly respected by
    his Rattler and professional peers and retains a bounty of awards for a life of
    meaningful contributions. David Bryant was a long-time government employee and
    retired from the National Security Agency (NSA).
  • Benjamin Canty – The late Dr. Benjamin Canty is well remembered for his many
    successes with the music education and training of area youth. It is with delight that
    many recall the efforts Dr. Canty pursued in preparing our children to perform at
    annual FAMU Founders Day events.
  • Annie B. Pharr – The late Annie B. Pharr is a chapter ICON. She is recognized and
    respected for undaunting efforts in the application of effective business practices
    regarding financial matters. Annie’s presence at sponsored events is always noted
    and thoughts of her persistent spirit remind us to focus on the business at hand.
  • Charles Perry – The late Dr. Perry served as president of the chapter from the
    beginning and for many successive years. It was through his direction that this
    chapter retained its focus to continue and expand to its current level of
    achievement.
