Oleta Lawanda Crain Scholarship

The Oleta Lawanda Crain Scholarship will be awarded to three deserving female students graduating from high school in 2025 and who reside in the states of Colorado, Missouri, or Oklahoma. The scholarship will be awarded to one female student per state in the amount of $2,000. The applicant must have a 3.0 average on a 4.0 scale. Each scholarship recipient must be accepted for enrollment at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) for the fall semester following their high school graduation. Additionally, the applicant must have demonstrated community service and leadership at their high school and in their community.

The Oleta Lawanda Crain Scholarship is made possible by a generous donation to the Delta Research and Educational Foundation by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority member Oleta Lawanda Crain, who resided in Denver, Colorado. Ms. Crain, a retired major in the U.S. Air Force and former regional administrator of the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor, died in 2007 at age 94. She led a groundbreaking career-a pioneer for women in the military, she was the first African American woman from Colorado to join the armed forces in 1942. She was one of three Black women, among 300 nationally, to enter officers' training during World War II. When first joining the military, she entered the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and later transferred to the U.S. Air Force. After a 20-year military career, Ms. Crain began a second career with the U.S. Department of Labor, working to advance the rights of women and minorities.

Oleta Lawanda Crain was born in Earlsboro, Seminole County, Oklahoma and grew up in Wewoka, Oklahoma. She studied for three years at Langston University in Oklahoma and transferred to Lincoln University in Missouri, where she earned a B.A. Degree in Social Science. She also earned two additional bachelor's degrees and a master's degree.
