A component of the chapter's educational efforts is the granting of scholarships to local students through the chapter's 501C3, ES Foster Education Assistance Trust. These annual awards provided financial assistance to deserving college-bound high school students and resident college students. The Chapter continues to award thousands of dollars in academic scholarships each year to deserving youth whom have completed the scholarship application for the fraternity's award within the specified fraternal year. These awards are provided during our annual Black & Gold Scholarship Banquet. In addition to the ES Foster Scholarships, the chapter maintains a scholarship contribution commitment to the ABQ Vision Scholarship Fund and the UNM Law School through which scholarships are awarded to deserving students in those respective programs.
The E.S. Foster Education Assistance Trust is to devoted to supporting efforts directed toward providing financial assistance to both deserving high school seniors and college students in need, to promote continuing education for constructive citizenship, to encourage the production of scholarly works by members of Iota Psi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and others, and to facilitate any other education based program and activity voted on by the Board of Trustees.
