Twin Scholarship Group – Creating Legacies

our History

The Twin Scholarship Group (TSG) was created as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) with the purpose to provide scholarships for undergraduate African American young men at Bowling Green State University and the University of Toledo.

The idea was born from men of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated who were initiated at UT and BGSU. The Twin Scholarship Group is named after our twin chapters.
