The John D. O’Bryant National Think Tank for Black Professionals in Higher Education on Predominantly White Campuses is a non-profit corporation. The organization consists of a broad based coalition of individuals whose primary purpose is the reclamation, critique, and perpetuation of the culture of people of African decent, who work at predominantly white colleges and universities. The John D. O’Bryant Merit Scholarship provides financial support for undergraduate African American students attending colleges and universities in the United States.
John D. O’Bryant is the founder of JDOTT and was the first African American to be appointed as a Vice President at Northeastern University in Boston Massachusetts. Thus, this scholarship has been established as a testimony for his efforts in assisting black students. He lived by his motto "If you’re not here to serve the students, you’re in the wrong place".
