APDS ‘Mama Kim’ Scholarship Fund

In 1999 Millicent “Mama Kim” Dixon, a retired nurse and Co-Chair of the APDS Council of Elders, established the APDS Afrikan/Afrikan American Scholarship Fund to support APDS (Africentric Personal Development Shop, Inc.) in its’ effort to provide scholarship funds to students aspiring to graduate from post secondary learning institutions.  The funds are “housed” and invested by the preeminent Columbus Foundation of Columbus, Ohio.  APDS Board of Trustees will grant two scholarships per year to a qualified female and male student.  There are four minimum qualifications which are that the recipients have at least a 3.0 overall grade point average (in an institution they have been enrolled in over the past nine months), 17 to 22 years old, already excepted to a post secondary school, and have either attended, volunteered, and or worked in the APDS Imhotep Learning Institute (formerly Nguzo Saba Institute) for a combined total of 18 months.
