Bennett College is the melting pot of BLACK GIRL MAGIC and has long stood for equity, excellence and opportunity. Our traditions of empowering young women of all backgrounds, fostering a robust and diverse community and providing a unique, high-quality, private liberal arts education are ones we intend to continue. We are an educational institution that recognizes needs and uses leadership and engagement to meet them.  The best and brightest future Bennett Belles will hail from all walks of life, backgrounds and cultures. In alignment with our mission and in accordance with our growth, Bennett College would like to announce the founding of the Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole Scholarship.

With your generosity, top-tier students who think analytically, care for their communities and require financial support outside what their families can provide will be afforded the opportunity to attend Bennett College and contribute to the Bennett sisterhood. Those selected as Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole Scholars will be held to high standards, including the expectation of four-year matriculation.

Bennett Belles and our extended Bennett College family, it is our hope that you will benevolently #Add2thePot by providing Bennett’s future and current Bennett Belles with the unique opportunity to start a legacy of educational excellence honoring Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole, beloved Fourteenth President of Bennett.  Through her leadership, guidance and grace, many girls chose to attend Bennett College. Now, we’re asking you to please help Bennett College to ensure she continues being the choice for many.
