The Goldsboro Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has donated $500 to assist students at Wayne Community College.
The chapter donated $500 to the Foundation of Wayne Community College to be used for scholarships to cover short-term training costs, books, uniforms, and/or credential fees for students in the college’s Workforce Continuing Education Division. The chapter intends to maintain the scholarship with future contributions.
The scholarship was established in honor of, and named for, one of the chapter’s founding members, Chester A. Beverly, who pledged the fraternity at Texas Southern University in 1949.
