NORFOLK – The Tidewater Chapter of the National Naval Officers Association (NNOA)
generated more than $7,000 over the summer to go toward its annual Samuel L. Gravely
scholarships.
NNOA Tidewater began the 2014 fundraising effort in April at Harbor Park during the Norfolk
Tides (http://norfolk.tides.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t568) Baseball season. As part of the program,
members volunteered more than 300 hours staffing concessions at the stadium of the Triple‑A
affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

“We fulfilled our commitment to raising money for our Samuel L. Gravely Scholarships to award
to deserving young men and women in our community,” said Lt. Cmdr. Anjail F. Belton, the
Harbor Park volunteer coordinator. “The funds will go toward our scholarships we will give
away in 2015.”
Annually, the chapter awards one $2,500 and two $1,500 scholarships in honor of Vice Adm.
Samuel Gravely (http://www.history.navy.mil/bios/gravely.htm), the first African‑American to
command a U.S. Navy warship, to be promoted to flag rank and to become a fleet commander.
Applications for the 2015 Samuel L. Gravely Scholarships will be available early next year.
The mission of NNOA (http://www.nnoa.org) is to actively support the Sea Services (Marine
Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard) in the development of a diverse officer and civilian leadership
corps through recruitment, retention, and career development. High school seniors who meet the
scholarship criteria listed in the application are eligible to apply regardless of ethnicity or
military/non‑military affiliation.
