About the Ada L. Mason Memorial Scholarship

Ada L. Mason, a native of Picayune, Mississippi, is a 1973 graduate of Jackson State University who was tragically killed on September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon. Ada was an active member of the Greater Washington, D.C. Area Alumni Chapter who worked diligently in support of her alma mater and her community. She served as the chapter's assistant secretary, and co-chairperson of the Annual Scholarship Dinner and Dance at the time of her death. Ada leaves two children, Sean and Shannon, and one grandson. In memory of her tireless work for the Greater Washington, DC area, the chapter is re-naming its scholarship so that although her physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit and commitment to Jackson State continue to live on.
