PROGRAMS

We currently have two national programs in place: The Franklin D. Watkins Award and The S.A.T. Scrimmage.

The Watkins Award
The Franklin D. Watkins Memorial Trophy Award was initiated in 1992 to promote academic excellence among young African-American males. Since 1992, high school seniors have been honored with the title "Premiere African-American Male Scholar Athlete". Click here for more information on the award.

S.A.T. Scrimmage
The goal of this program is to help students learn how to take the exam known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test or S.A.T. The Alliance's SAT Scrimmage is directed toward two sets of students:

1. Students who might be interested in attending college but would not be able to afford to attend the preparatory fee-based S.A.T. instruction programs.
2. Student athletes who might be eligible to attend a college based on athletic ability but might be hindered by S.A.T. scores with regard to NCAA eligibility regulations.

During the program students take a practice S.A.T. exam learn strategies to help them improve their scores. They also receive a take home test booklet for additional study.

After taking a practice test students receive an analysis of the results indicating strengths and weaknesses. A copy is sent to the school.

Transportation to the site is not provided. All other services are provided to the student at no cost.
