2010 Black Scholars

On June 15th, the League held its 31st annual Salute to Black Scholars Recognition Dinner at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. A total of 341 students from 51 area high schools were recognized as Black Scholars because they are graduating with an overall grade point average of B or better. An additional 33 students received Honorable Mention as they just missed the mark for becoming Black Scholars by graduating with GPAs of 2.95 to 2.99.

Forty-one companies, colleges and fraternities and sororities presented scholarships to Black Scholars at the Recognition Dinner. Over 700 Black Scholars, parents, relatives, and other well-wishers attended the event.
