Overview
Mission
The organization's primary purpose is to provide financial assistance for Grambling State University through scholarships and active high school recruitment.
What it reported doing in 2025
This purpose was achieved during this year by providing scholarships to zero (0) students, Book Grants to zero (0) students and Hardship Scholarships to zero (0) students who were attending Grambling State University or who were High School Seniors who were to attend Grambling upon graduation. For a list of the students who received these awards, see the information provided under Part I, Line 10. The organization determines who will receive scholarships by 1: Seniors complete a scholarship application; 2: upon review of the scholarship applications, the students go through an intense interview; 3: upon completion of these two requirements, a panel of Alumni members select students to receive the scholarship. Students who have already been granted scholarship and are attending the GSU will continue to receive their scholarship until they graduate, if they maintain a certain GPA the previous semester or if the Dallas Chapter has sufficient funds to offer the financial aid.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
