The process to receive the Almire Major Smith Scholarship Fund (AMSSF) begins with a demonstration of a commitment to both academic excellence and community service, mirroring the values upheld by Mr. Almire Smith himself. Applicants must be African American students enrolled in a community college or university in North Carolina. While membership in JROTC is preferred, it is not a mandatory requirement. The selection criteria emphasize not only academic achievement but also active involvement in community service initiatives. The scholarship fund, established by Mr. Smith's grandchildren, serves as a tribute to his dedication to education and his community, aiming to empower deserving individuals to pursue their educational aspirations while following in Mr. Smith's footsteps of service and support.
