African-American Community Foundation - Wahid Abdullah Memorial Scholarship

The Wahid Abdullah Memorial Scholarship was established in 1997 to honor the memory of Wahid Abdullah, a 17-year-old academic scholar at Colonel White High School, whose life was abruptly ended by violence at the hands of another teen. This scholarship was founded by Jim Bucher. Applicants must:

• be a graduating senior or current college student from Montgomery County, Ohio,
• be accepted to a two-year, four-year, technical school or college or university, and
• demonstrate community service.

Preference will be given to students who major in communications and/or journalism. Financial need will be considered if all else is equal.
