The Black Alumni Ball is an annual event whose mission is to bring black alumni from all universities throughout the nation, including both PWI's (Predominantly White Institutions) and HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities),  for a night of sophistication, style, and fun. Founders and contributors are excited to take this year a step further by introducing the 2018 Black Alumni Ball Scholarship. This newly added component was created to assist qualifying high-school graduates in Washington, DC in lessening the financial burden of entering higher education. The Scholarship recipients will be awarded $1,000. In addition to the Black Alumni Ball Scholarship, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the North Star College Preparatory Academy for Boys PCS to assist in opening a unique middle school campus for Black and Latino boys. The academy's aim is to provide a safe environment where boys can find respect, support, and positive role models while utilizing their talents and gifts. In addition, four artists from the Washington, DC area have donated pieces of artwork that will be on display during a silent auction. Funds raised during this auction will go towards the Scholarship.
