His scholars program helped improve science and maths education
Inventor Greene set up a scholarship program in memory of his wife Phyllis Greene’s contribution to the activities of the NAACP. Greene was interested in building and empowering African-American engineers to break ground in the technological space.
His Frank S. Greene scholars program ensured that all participants ended up in college. The scholars program entailed a science fair, an engineering competition, a career day, parent enrichment workshops and monthly classes.
