"A legacy is not just what you leave behind. It's what people carry forward because you existed." 


The DeKalb County Area Alumni Chapter is honored to open applications for the inaugural Henry L. Coleman Legacy Scholarship. As we offer this $1,500 award, we take a moment to remember Henry L. Coleman not only as someone we cherished, but as a pillar of service in our community.


Henry L. Coleman was a devout Albany State Alum whose Golden Ram pride ran deep. As a dedicated member of the DeKalb Chapter, he lived the mission of ASU every day, always reaching back to pull the next generation forward. This annual scholarship is our way of ensuring that Henry L. Coleman's legacy of unwavering passion for education and mentorship, combined with his love for his "Unsinkable" Alma Mater, continues to shine through in the generations of young men who will follow in his footsteps.




May his legacy continue to live on through the excellence of our scholars.
