7023 Minority Scholarship Fund

This scholarship honors the legacy of Addie James Hamerter, a foundational figure of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. A fearless pioneer for humanity and peace, Mrs. Hamerter dedicated her life to the pursuit of justice and the belief that educational opportunities should be accessible to all. From a young age, she was a catalyst for change in the civil rights movement. Known for her quiet strength and strategic mind, she possessed the rare ability to listen intently and provide transformative solutions. Her lifelong commitment to basic human rights paved the way for the voices we hear today. In our commitment to student success, the 7023 Minority Scholarship provides a one-time $500 award to help scholars complete their degree. By investing in these future leaders, we empower them to find their voices and make a lasting impact in their local communities.
