Frances M. Franklin Scholarship Program- The Black American Council oversees the awarding of student scholarships through the Frances M. Franklin Scholarship Fund.  The scholarship honors the memory of Frances Mason Franklin, a Cleveland educator and former Tri-C faculty member..  Contributions to the Frances M. Franklin Scholarship Fund can be made through the Tri-C Foundation.  Proceeds from these donations support the education of deserving Tri-C students. 

Protégé Mentoring Program- The protégé mentoring program was established to encourage academic progress, emotional support, motivation and inspiration to Tri-C students.  Each student who participates is paired with a Tri-C staff, faculty or administrator who serves as a mentor and resource person throughout the student's academic endeavors.  Become a BAC Mentee today and apply online!

Are you a Tri-C staff, faculty or administrator who would like to be a mentor?  Please contact the BAC office for membership and mentoring applications.
