Enclosed please find a copy of the Gray Panthers of South Dade Al Afterman Scholarship Application. This scholarship is made available to high school seniors who have made a commitment towards fostering intergenerational service-learning activities.

The Gray Panthers is a national organization of intergenerational activists dedicated to social and economic justice. For over 30 years, Gray panthers have worked to make our nation one that lives up to its dreams and promises of fair and just treatment for all. Founded in 1970 by social activist Maggie Kuhn, the Gray Panthers have active networks coast to coast working for progressive change through civic engagement in communities and the nation at large.

The members of The South Dade Gray Panthers have donated money to establish yearly scholarships, in the amount of $500 each, for deserving youth who have volunteered their time towards enhancing relationships and activities that unite young people and elders in the community. We hope that you will assist us in distributing applications to students you feel meet this criterion. Scholarships will be awarded on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at the Gray Panthers of South Dade Membership Meeting.
