Locke Scholarship

The Locke Scholarship Awards were established in November 2009 to award academically talented graduating high school seniors in metro-Atlanta with monetary assistance to continue their educational pursuit at any accredited institution of higher learning. The Locke Scholarship awards were founded by Phi Beta Sigma Sigma (PBSS) alumni chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. as the main vehicle to recognize youth in metro-Atlanta who understand the value of education to their personal growth and a prosperous life. To date, PBSS has awarded over $15K in scholarships to graduating seniors. Some of the winners have attended Georgetown University, University of Georgia, Scripps College, and Howard University to pursue higher education

The Locke Scholarship Awards were named in honor of Brother Dr. Alain L. Locke, the 1st black Rhodes Scholar and a distinguished member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

AIDS Awareness

In an effort to raise the awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on the African-American male population, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, through it Sigma Wellness signature initiative has developed a new project, the Conversations Among Brothers Series. This initiative is targeted at African-American men on college campuses and is designed to encourage ongoing peer-to-peer discussions about topics and issues that adversely impact African-American men, particularly HIV/AIDS.

With the alarming number of African-American men between the ages 17-24 that are infected with the disease, it is imperative for organizations whose membership encompasses such demographics to take a proactive position in helping to address this matter of urgency. To that end, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, primarily through its collegiate chapters, seeks to facilitate ongoing dialogue among Brothers on college campuses. In addition, the Fraternity seeks to encourage African-American men to not only become aware of the impact of the disease on our communities, but to get tested and become advocates for HIV/AIDS testing.

The Fraternity realizes the need to leverage the power of peer interaction and actively engage young people in their educational efforts in a way that goes well beyond typical initiatives like lectures and traditional programs. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. wishes to directly involve young people in a peer-to-peer way which adds energy and momentum to the educational efforts and objectives as set forth in this new initiative.

The club offers unique opportunities to develop values, leadership skills along with social/cultural awareness in our youth during their developmental years. SBC programs are geared to meet the needs of its members, but at the same time provide them with a well-rounded outlook that is required to meet life challenges.
