Fannie N. Ridgeway Endowed Scholarship
This housing scholarship was established in 1995 by the DC Chapter in memory of Mrs. Fannie N. Ridgeway. The scholarship is for a male student in their junior year, who possesses a good academic record, has given service to others, and exhibited high ideals and an understanding of others. The scholarship is awarded to a student from the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. The Fanny N. Ridgeway Scholarship became endowed in 2001.
SAFE FUND
The SAFE Fund contributes emergency funding assistance to retain Dillard students who might otherwise be forced to forfeit attending school due to short term financial hardships. This fund was established by University President Dr. Walter Kimbrough to give vital assistance to at-risk students who, through no fault of their own, simply cannot afford some or all of their books, fees, housing or are unexpectedly confronted with a financial emergency.
