The Josie Washington Memorial Scholarship is in memory of a very devoted member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Kappa Zeta Chapter. Josie Washington was an educator in the Dallas public schools, who taught much of her career at Lincoln High School. During her life she belonged to many organizations and volunteered her services wherever needed. Upon her death, Josie Washington left an endowment to her sorority. The Kappa Zeta chapter elected to set up a scholarship fund to honor her memory and generosity to our chapter.
The scholarship is to be awarded to a high school senior who is considered an “Unsung Hero”: As an "unsung hero," this student is someone who has overcome usual circumstances, performed humanitarian services or heroic deeds in the community, school or through their public or religious affiliations.
The winner will be selected based on the submitted documentation and recommendation letters, as well as, an interview. The winner will be honored in Spring 2025.
