ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP

The Akello Bomani Scholarship was started in 2013 by the seven members, who were initiated in the 2004 line of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.’s Epsilon Chapter at the University of Michigan. Upon graduation these men wanted to recognize extraordinary African-American men who exemplified the characteristics of someone who “brings forth the warrior” within themselves to reach their full potential academically and professionally while being socially conscious of today’s times.
