91st Annual Third District Meeting
William "BB" Prentiss Talent Hunt
Originated in the Sixth District (North Carolina and South Carolina) the Talent Hunt Program is one of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity's National Projects. The first Talent Hunt was held April 19, 1946, in Charlotte, NC and made its national debut at the 1953 Cincinnati Grand Conclave. The need for such a program was born out of the limited opportunities afforded to some American youth to develop and give full expression of their talents. This program provides exposure, encouragement and financial assistance to talented young people. Currently, some participants at the national level are awarded college scholarships. Presently, the Local and District Talent programs are competitive, whereas the National Program is a demonstration of first place winners from across the nation.
The Third District Scholarship, Talent Hunt and Social Action Foundation is dedicated to supporting
Scholastic Achievement. The Foundation is committed to awarding a minimum of $10,000 annually to support the Undergraduate and Postgraduate academic endeavors of young men who have achieved scholastic excellence.
