“Joseph A. Beavers Scholarships are given to ambitious students who aspire to advance their lives through the pursuit of post-secondary education. Beavers’ recipients demonstrate strong academic performance, possess complementary attributes that reflect leadership and service, and champion the UPO mission and vision of a thriving community. Recipients persevere through adversity and recognize the value of higher education as a vehicle to achieving long-term success.

Beavers’ alumni personify the District’s best and brightest students and represent the nation’s capital at some of the country’s most

recognized universities. A few institutions of higher learning that recent recipients attend include NYU, Georgetown University, Howard University, Morehouse College, Bucknell University, Xavier University, Virginia State University, and University of Pittsburgh.

2021 represents a significant milestone for the Beavers Scholarship; this year, UPO will surpass more than $1,000,000 in fundraising and will have awarded scholarships to more than to 200 youth.

We are welcoming applications from 2024 graduates.”
