Educational Opportunities
One of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc.’s National Programs is American Educational Week. We also provide annual scholarships to deserving, graduating high school seniors during our Business Month activities and we have a chapter scholarship in honor of our late-Soror Helen M. Johnson (who served in the National Office of Far Western Region Director for Iota Phi Lambda Sorority) and her husband John Q. Johnson. The Johnson Scholarship is funded by the Johnson family.
In addition to our commitment to educational achievement, we often receive other educational opportunities.
Below are opportunities that have been shared with our members and will be an enhancement to you –or your child’s– educational endeavors.
