$10,000 Revolving Student Loan Funds
The first non-interest bearing loan fund for students was established in 1969. They are funded through personal contributions of The Drifter membership. The $10,000 grants are awarded to degree conferring institutions whose student populations are mostly people of color.
Scholarships
Several college scholarships are awarded to deserving high school graduates at The Drifters Annual National Convention by the host chapter. Additionally, the Board of Directors awards a scholarship to a deserving Kindling or Splinter at The Drifters Annual National Convention. These programs serve as living examples of The Sisters of The Drifters, Incorporated’s commitment to serving our chosen communities and improving the lives of those we serve.
