This scholarship fund was created in 2011 out of the Chauncey Billups Meet & Greet with the Memphis Grizzlies.  It was our chapter’s first ever fund raiser, raising just short of $500, and had our largest turnout with 30 alumni, family and friends.  The meet and greet will continue to be in place with the Grizzlies, so that we can build our scholarship fund, and we will rotate our alumni in the NBA.

The scholarship was created to help qualified incoming freshman from the Memphis metropolitan area, under the umbrella of the Memphis Forever Buffs Alumni Chapter.  The area covers, specifically the city of Memphis, northern MS, north eastern AR, the bootheel of MO, and west TN.  If there isn’t a qualified candidate in that area, then it will open up to the whole state of TN.
