2010 Alpha Delta Kappa
Scholarships in Review
Each biennium Alpha Delta Kappa International awards more than a quarter of a million dollars through its eight scholarship
programs. The following individuals are the most recent recipients of Alpha Delta Kappa scholarships and grants. Because
of these valuable programs, more than 90 individuals have been able to further their talents, interests and careers.
Living Memorial Scholarship
Lorraine Moore, South Carolina Alpha Beta Chapter, is the recipient of the 2010 Living Memorial Scholarship.
Lorraine is an elementary gifted/talented teacher of third- to fifth-grade students. She is using the scholarship
to travel to South Africa, where she is conducting interviews and developing audiovisual material to enhance her
curriculum for the 2010-2011 school year. She wants to broaden her students’ perspective of Africa and the world.
Lorraine’s students have been corresponding via e-mail with students in several Johannesburg schools. Lorraine is
visiting at least one of the schools, bringing pictures and gifts from her own students.
“I want to enlighten and broaden my students’ thinking about Africa, particularly the history and culture of South
Africa,” said Lorraine. “The dismantling of apartheid and the non-violent influence of Nelson Mandela, in themselves,
make an inspiring case study for a rising generation. By experiencing South Africa through my eyes, learning
about its similarities to their own country and communicating with South African students, I hope to have my young
learners realize that they are world citizens.”
