WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Shawn Joseph, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Director/Codirector of the Superintendent Academies at Howard University, and Founder of Joseph and Associates LLC, is providing scholarship to a Black male student in Montgomery County, MD, who will attend Howard University. 

Dr. Joseph shared, "To whom much is given, much is expected.  As a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., we are charged to promote and support scholarship.  This year, Mu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Montgomery County MD's chapter, has the honor of having President Patrick Swygert, the 15^th President of Howard University, serve as our keynote speaker.  Dr. Swygert has represented Omega Psi Phi Fraternity since 1964.  He pledged on the campus of Howard University at Alpha Chapter.  As a current faculty member at Howard University, and as the father of a son who pledged Alpha Chapter in 2022, I was inspired to support another Black man to experience the excellence of Howard University and potentially seek out the excellence that is Omega. As such, I will establish the Patrick Swygert Howard University scholarship which will be given annually to a student in Montgomery County who is admitted to Howard University through the Rudolph W. Snowden Foundation."

Dr. Joseph will provide a $10,000 check to the Rudolph W. Snowden Foundation on November 15, 2023, during Mu Nu's Achievement Week celebration.  The Rudolph W.

Dr. Joseph shared, "We must continue to promote and support Black men entering college and enrolling in fine Historically Black Colleges such as Howard University.  There is no better place to prepare Black genius."
