Scholarships

The Foundation’s resources provide thousands of dollars in merit and needs-based scholarships to graduating high school seniors accepted to an accredited 4-year university, technical college, trade college, community college, or junior college the semester immediately after graduation. Applicants must primarily reside in the South Atlanta area which includes the counties of Fulton, Clayton, Fayette, Coweta, and Henry. In addition to the four Foundation scholarships geared toward graduating high school seniors, the Annette Dotson POV College Scholarship is awarded to college students who currently reside in the South Atlanta area. 

​Since the partnering of Phi Tau Omega Chapter with Pearls of Vision Foundation, Inc., tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships have been given to deserving students.  Also, through the partnership both organizations have accumulated hundreds of thousands of hours in community service programs, helping to unmask the vision of hope in our communities.
