Scholarships

Ivy Tea Rose, Inc. in collaboration with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. - Nu Iota Omega chapter, is committed to the development of youth in our community. In addition to the mentoring programs we participate in, we award three scholarships annually to deserving students.  The Connie Joyce Davis Scholarship is awarded to a local African American high school senior who is in good academic standing. The Robin Lynn Young Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a deserving female African-American law student at Florida State University. The THINK HBCU Scholarship is awarded to a local African American male or female student who will be attending a Historically Black College & University. These scholarships are based on academic merit and financial need.


We are thankful for our sponsors and the community at large for supporting our events which in turn, allows us to provide these three scholarships to deserving students.

If you have any questions please contact Scholarship Committee Chair, Terri Rawls, by email Scholarships@ivytearoseinc.org.
