About Us
The Douglas Arthur Lowe Prism for Beauty on Earth
Scholarship Fund is a public not-for-profit organization
that was founded in 2008 as a vehicle to perpetuate the
memory and legacy of Douglas Arthur (Doug) Lowe, a Cornell
University, School of Industrial Relations student, class
of 2011. The Fund was established in order to enhance the
educational experience and promote academic success for
African-American undergraduate students who, like Doug,
exemplifies his caring, loving and beautiful spirit, the
well-being of humanity, and exceptional creativity.
Inspired by Douglas Arthur Lowe’s all-embracing and endless
kindness, consistent community service, outstanding
creativity, and academic achievements, the organization
hopes to give other students like Doug the opportunity to
enhance their collegiate academic experience at
universities without the preoccupation of financial
difficulty.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance the educational experience and
promote academic success for African American undergraduate
students by awarding financial scholarships based on their
academic excellence, financial need, dedication to
community service and the well being of humanity,
demonstration of leadership, personal qualities,
creativity, talent and conduct.
In addition to aiding undergraduates, we feel it is
important for our organization to develop collaborative
relationships with corporations, state regional and
community-based organizations to develop and implement
educational projects benefiting African-American
undergraduate students.
