The Delta Education and Life Development Foundation awarded $76,000 in scholarships to deserving high school seniors heading to college during the 46th annual May Week āIn Pursuit of Excellenceā Academic Awards and Scholarship Ceremony. The event, graced by the presence of approximately 150 diligent students with proud parents, family members, and friends, was a vibrant showcase of academic prowess and community support. Amidst the joyous atmosphere, the students were also treated to thoughtful tokens of appreciation. As they bid farewell, each scholar received graduation cups and ducks adorned with the initials āBCAC,ā symbolizing both their academic accomplishments and their belonging to our cherished community. The success of the May Week Scholarship Ceremony serves as a testament to the power of education and community.
On May 4th, the Broward County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in partnership with the Delta Education and Life Development Foundation supported 11th grade young ladies enrolled in the Delta GEMS program as they participated in the āOrita: Rites of Passageā ceremony. This powerful journey allowed the young ladies to learn about their culture, traditions, personal growth, financial literacy, womanhood, family values, resilience, self-respect, and leadership. Through this immersive experience, they understood their identity, community, and societal role as they prepared for adulthood and the Orita traditional African ritual. This program allowed them to celebrate their accomplishments and show their strength with community support as they journeyed from Talibahs to Zekayas.
