This year, the Gamma Rho Omega Scholarship Committee, contributed $20,000 toward the post-secondary careers of six Duval County Public Schools’ students, through their AKA Dollars for Scholars program.
Since 1945, the Gamma Rho Omega Chapter has awarded more than $575,000 in scholarships. Each year, the scholarship committee coordinates the chapter’s scholarship program by soliciting applicants from area high schools, colleges and universities.
