Each year the brothers of Pi Upsilon Sigma gives out three scholarships to deserving young males in the Birmingham City, Jefferson County and Walker County areas. This year the brothers were able to provide scholarships in the amounts of $1,000 (1st), $600 (2nd) and $400 (3rd). The scholarship winners have college choices of Alabama State, Howard University, UAB, Tennessee State and Auburn University.

Pi Upsilon Sigma was honored to help start their college experience on a positive note. IAMBK Scholarship Chair, Brother Quentin Gibson told the young men, “this is not a handout, because you earned it through your hard work, dedication and perseverance”. Pi Up’s President Gary Bryant, Jr. added “you are now examples of what can be accomplished and leaders for those that follow.”

“If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.”
