Celebrating Black History Month
The University of Delaware is committed to fostering an inclusive environment year-round. Living and improving on these values depends on the continued support of our UD community. During Black History Month, help us celebrate by supporting the incredible work of our diversity-focused campus initiatives. While there are countless ways to get involved, the causes below are among those leading the way. With your support, we can continue to create a diverse, welcoming campus community.
African Violet Scholarship
Scholarships are a vital tool for building a vibrant, diverse campus community. That’s why the women of Delta Sigma Theta established the African Violet award.

“The impact of the scholarship could be the difference between staying in college and dropping out. It can allow that student to focus on their studies and not worry about working to pay for tuition.
In today's society, NO student should be denied a higher education due to finances.”
-Tia Bolden, AS93 and Tammy Smith, EG96 BE98M
Dr. James Newton Scholarship, Dept. of Africana Studies
Honoring the legacy of Dr. James E. Newton—a pioneering artist, educator and co-founder of the Black American Studies program at the University of Delaware—the James E. Newton Scholarship supports outstanding students majoring in Africana Studies.

Each RISE student receives multi-faceted, personalized support from their first day on campus through graduation.
Black Alumni Organization Scholarship
The University of Delaware Black Alumni Organization (BAO) supports and connects alumni from UD’s Black community in conjunction with the UD Alumni Association and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations. The BAO maintains an active, year-round schedule of local and regional events, and it offers an annual scholarship for outstanding Black students.

The Lerner Diversity Council (LDC) provides the opportunity to understand and appreciate the shared and unique background and talents that all students, staff, faculty and alumni offer. The LDC focuses on building community and college climate, transforming curricular and co-curricular activities and strengthening outreach and engagement, all with the central focus on diversity.
