​About Us

​Our Mission
Our mission is to provide scholarship opportunities to African American seniors at Mullins High School to attend post-secondary institutions of higher education.

Who We Are And How We Started
Formed in 1984 under the leadership of retired Lt. Col Milton W. Troy II, the Friends and Alumni Association of Palmetto High School (‘FAAPHS”).  FAAPHS is a 501(c)3 not for profit charitable organization, register with the South Carolina Secretary of State Office as required by law.  It is a volunteer-based organization with no paid staff members.  The organization operates based on donations and voluntary services from friends and alumni of Palmetto/Mullins High School dating back to the class of 1941.  To verify FAAPHS's  state registration status, please go to the SC Secretary of State's website: https://sos.sc.gov/online-filings/charities-pfrs/raffles/charities and click on "Charities Search."

Who We Serve
We serve African American high school students who resides in Mullins, South Carolina and attend Mullins High School who diligently apply themselves toward achieving their educational goals. 

What We Do
We created a scholarship fund to provide education scholarships for minority students at Mullins High School to attend post-secondary institutions of higher education.  Presently, we award scholarships in the amount of $1,000 payable in 2 installments of $500 per semester.

Why We Do What We Do
Our services are based upon the shared belief that (1) education benefits individuals and promote national development, (2) education increases an individual’s subsequent earnings and expands future opportunities, which benefits both the individual and the community through increased economic productivity and higher family incomes; and (3) there are disparities that persist in access to educational resources in the African Americans communities.  Thus, our goal is to provide as many scholarships as possible each year.
