The Donald J. Waldon Memorial Scholarship The Donald J. Waldon Memorial Scholarship was established in 1976, in honor and memory of Brother Waldon, a Charter Member and second president of the Iota Alpha Lambda Chapter (IAL) of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Brother Waldon served IAL as president during 1969-70; and for twelve years, served the Army and nation as a mathematician and supervisory operations research analyst at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Since its inception, the Donald J. Waldon Memorial Scholarship has provided full, academic scholarships to Cecil College and Harford Community College students. Associate degrees from those schools continue to propel scholarship recipients toward earning four-year and advanced degrees and into productive careers. The Donald J. Waldon Memorial Scholarship is one of several nongovernment sources for financing college level academics in Cecil and Harford Counties. IAL is honored to be a part of this multi-group effort to enhance the positive development of our youth. The Donald J. Waldon Memorial Scholarship Banquet is the scholarship’s largest funding source, producing more than $67,000 during the last 10 years. IAL is deeply grateful for outstanding support from businesses, groups, and individuals in our communities. It is fitting to especially acknowledge Bro. Waldon’s beloved, Mrs. Nannie P. Waldon, for her 39 years of encouragement and support. Don't You Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turn about When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow – You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup; And he learned too late When the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint in the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It might be near when it seems afar; So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
