Support the African American Society's Scholarship Funds

As the oldest historically Black club at Case Western Reserve University, the African American Society (AfroAm) exists as a platform for African American students to take action by raising awareness of issues in our community. The organization celebrates and educates others about African American culture and experiences while reaching out and giving back to surrounding neighborhoods.

Each year, the African American Society offers a scholarship for one active general body member. Recently, this scholarship was renamed the Myron Matlock Scholarship, in honor of CWRU and AfroAm alum Myron Matlock. Myron Matlock, who earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Case Western in 2006 and is currently Senior Technical Advisor at HNTB Corporation was encouraged by his life-changing experience with AfroAm to give back to the Black community at Case. With the help of Case's Office of Multicultural Affairs and AfroAm, Myron Matlock gained the support he needed to turn his academic career around while building life long connections.

With this scholarship, we aim to appreciate and support the ambitions of our general body members and carry on Matlock’s motivation of giving back. We believe that each and every one of our members has the skills to achieve their career goals, and offer this scholarship as an additional form of support in doing so. We are asking for help raising these funds to continue providing this scholarship.
