Education

Our Education program focuses on the need for higher education and we make scholarships and endowments available whenever possible. We, the men of Phi Beta Sigma, recognize the importance of "scholarship" and diligent studying to acquire knowledge, for knowledge is truly power, and It is a necessity of our people to empower themselves with whatever means that are available.
