The council focuses on fostering engagement and networking among its members, creating social and professional opportunities, and providing a platform for sharing information about campus programs.

Empower Cardinals for Generations

Through two dedicated funds, the Black Alumni Council champions scholarships and programs that help students excel and find purpose — creating opportunities, building connections, and fueling the Ball State spirit.

Fund #408 Black Alumni Council

The purpose of this fund is to support Black Alumni Council programs and activities. BAC’s mission includes engaging alumni by providing social and informative events, facilitating student mentoring programs, and encouraging gifts to support scholarships for students.

Fund #461 Dr. Robert O. Foster and Allen L. Williams Scholarship Fund

The Black Alumni Council established the Dr. Robert O. Foster and Allen L. Williams Scholarship Fund to carry forward the vision and values embodied by Dr. Foster and Mr. Williams. Their lives remind us that progress is built through leadership, service, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to uplifting others.  Through the fund, the spirits of Dr. Foster and Mr. Williams continue to guide, inspire, and uplift generations of Ball State Cardinals.  Four scholarships are awarded annually to members of the Black Student Association of Ball State University based on service, merit, and financial need.
