Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.’s Alpha Alpha Mu Omega chapter has announced two scholarships for Sussex County high school students who are graduating in 2023 — the Lomax Leadership Scholarship and the Collick Community Book Scholarship.

The Lomax award is named in honor of Mary C. Lomax, who led the charge to establish the sorority’s chapter and served as its first president. The amount of $1,000 will be awarded to an applicant who demonstrates exceptional commitment to service in his or her community. This scholarship is based on academic achievement, aptitude, leadership, character and financial need.

The Collick Community Book Scholarship was created to provide financial assistance to a Sussex County senior pursuing his or her undergraduate education at a two- or four-year accredited college, university or technical college. It is named in honor of Stephanie Collick, whose commitment was instrumental in the establishment of the Alpha Alpha Mu Omega chapter and who served as its first vice president. The amount of $500 will be awarded to the winner, who demonstrates dedication to service. This award is also based on academic achievement, aptitude, leadership, character and financial need.
