The Josie Washington Memorial Scholarship is in memory of a very devoted member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Kappa Zeta Chapter. Josie Washington was an educator in the Dallas public schools, who taught much of her career at Lincoln High School.

The Kappa Zeta chapter elected to set up a scholarship fund to honor her memory and generosity to our chapter.
