The National Alumni Association was formed in 1988 with the help of some former graduates. It was formed for the purpose of granting scholarships on an annual basis, to qualifying students of their alma mater.

Lincoln High / R. T. Coles alumni members remain leaders throughout the city, the region, and the nation, and the school's multi-racial and multi-ethnic faculty and student body continue to contribute to the broader community, building on the school's tradition and history of academic excellence and public service.

Our National Alumni Association is dedicated to assisting with the continued education of the students who wish to attend college.

We are seeking public support for this historic school and its student body. Each year since its founding we have given hundreds and thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving students, and we ask you to help us continue this tradition by donating to the scholarship fund for these deserving students.

We are a not-for-profit organization, (501-c3). Donations are tax deductible.
