King and Queen Scholarship Contest Program
The
Stafford NAACP King & Queen Scholarship Contest was established in an
effort to involve the entire community in one of the most important goals of
the organization, which is to provide education opportunities through
scholarship to students in the area and to help the branch operating expenses
so that better service can be provided to the community (e.g., back-to-school
and stay-in-school programs). The King & Queen Scholarship Contest consists
of programs and activities that support the mission of the NAACP. Each
component is strategically planned to integrate relevant challenges, issues,
and concerns with practical solutions, techniques, and life skills to enhance development.
2013 King & Queen Scholarship Contest
King & Queen Competition
The winners of the King & Queen Scholarship Contest are determined by a fundraising competition between the participants. The participant who raises the most funds will be placed as the Stafford NAACP King or Queen. The first place winner will then represent the Stafford NAACP Branch and compete at the Virginia State Conference, which is held annually in October. However, all participants will be awarded scholarship funds predetermined by the percentages set by the King & Queen Scholarship Program Committee. See the table below to understand what each participant and winner will receive.
