Awards & Scholarships
Herman Williams Awards
The North Carolina Beta Club State Council voted to establish these awards in 2019 to honor the leadership of the long-time NC Council chairman Herman Williams. Three separate awards will be offered.
One $1250 scholarship for a senior member* to attend the National Beta Club Leadership Conference in Washington, DC.
One $750 scholarship for a junior member* to attend the National Beta Club Leadership Camp in Greeneville, Tennessee.
One grant for a sponsor of any level to conduct a service project for their school or community.
Mr. Willams was a strong advocate for our North Carolina Convention, so members and sponsors must attend the North Carolina convention to be eligible for these awards. *Currently the student applications are limited to the students who showed an interest in leadership by running for state office.
Application Deadline: Award suspended for 2023-2024 school year
