Prairie View A&M National Alumni Association named September School of the Month partner

Panther Pride has been strong since the start of the campaign. We have partnered with the Prairie View A&M National Alumni Association (PVAMNAA) to raise scholarship funds for students attending Prairie View. 

So far we have already awarded two $1,500 scholarships to deserving male students attending Prairie View, and the next will be announced on Thursday, September 17. 

As a partner with the Tom Joyner Foundation ‘Schools of the Month’, the PVAMNAA and its chapters will be promoted on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and receive those funds raised from listeners, alumni and other interested parties that month. The show, aired in 115 markets around the country, reaches nearly eight million listeners every week.
