The Dr. Weldon J. Walton Endowed Scholarship was formed in esteemed gratitude for a man that has had the most incredible impact for more than 170 men that have joined Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. through the Zeta Eta Chapter as well as countless others who have gained countless opportunities because he cared as an educator and advisor.  From a young man, Dr. Walton had the drive to achieve at a high level earning both an undergraduate as well as a masters degree from Prairie View A&M University, in addition to completing doctoral work at Walden University.  Truly a man that understood what was required to push himself to academic heights.

He cast the net of the same opportunities he had into his surroundings by opening avenues for young people to do as he had.  Testimonials from students of his at Prairie View accounted to his instruction being not just on facts but how to learn information.  Students of his at Paul Quinn, where he served in several capacities over 40 years, benefitted from his bridge building capacity not only in the classroom but in life by his aid in forming academic associations on campus that took PQC students past their undergraduate matriculation and into their professional lives and beyond.
