The Mable Parker McLean Scholarship
The Lambda Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.® provides scholarships to foster its commitment to cultivating and encouraging high scholastic standards and strong community engagement among high school students in Cabarrus County.
Our scholarship is named after Dr. McLean who was a charter member and first president of Lambda Upsilon Omega Chapter. Dr. McLean was the first Female President of Barber-Scotia College. She was an advocate of higher education and a leader among leaders.
In 2023, the Lambda Upsilon Omega chapter awarded 4 one-time scholarships to
qualified high school students in the amount of $1,000 each.
At least one of the scholarships
will be awarded to a student attending an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and
Universities). Eligible candidates must attend a Cabarrus County high school, have a
minimum GPA of 3.0, demonstrate leadership capabilities through community service and/or
extracurricular activities, and attend a four-year college or university beginning Fall 2023.
