    The core commitment of United Planning Organization (UPO) is to unite people with opportunities in order to create thriving and self-sufficient residents. UPO began sponsorship of its annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Breakfast in 1987 as a means for the Washington, DC community to join together around the ideals advanced by Dr. King. It is with those priorities in mind that in 1990 UPO began awarding college scholarships that are financed with proceeds from the Breakfast. The scholarship is named in honor of the late Mr. Joseph A. Beavers, a longtime UPO Board member and legendary District of Columbia labor leader. 
    Joseph A. Beavers Scholarships are given to ambitious students who aspire to advance their lives through the pursuit of post-secondary education. Beavers’ recipients demonstrate strong academic performance, possess complementary attributes that reflect leadership and service, and champion the UPO mission and vision of a thriving community. Recipients persevere through adversity and recognize the value of higher education as a vehicle to achieving long-term success.  
    Beavers’ alumni personify the District’s best and brightest students and represent the nation’s capital at some of the country’s most recognized universities. A few institutions of higher learning that recent recipients attend include NYU, Georgetown University, Howard University, Morehouse College, Bucknell University, Xavier University, Virginia State University, and University of Pittsburgh. 
    2021 represents a significant milestone for the Beavers Scholarship; this year, UPO will have awarded $1,000,000 to nearly 200 local youth. 
    We are welcoming applications from 2023 graduates.
