The Gamma Mu Foundation supports academic excellence and leadership within the LGBTQ+ community, promoting health, acceptance, and inclusion regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
For Chapman, this recognition is historic. In 2024, he became the first HBCU student ever to receive a Gamma Mu Foundation Scholarship. Being honored again in 2025 alongside fellow Morehouse student Benjamin Cabral highlights both personal achievement and the growing visibility of LGBTQ+ students at Morehouse.
“This recognition reflects not only our individual accomplishments, but also the growing impact of LGBTQ+ students at Morehouse who are committed to leadership, scholarship, and community advancement,” Chapman said.
Chapman is active on and off campus as a C.R.I.B.B. Fellow, ADODI E-board member, founder of Colorado HBCU Connect, Hugh Thomas Douglas Leadership Academy Scholar, and staff writer for The Maroon Tiger. He will intern this summer with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and participate in the University of Bristol’s Arts, Activism, and Social Justice Study Abroad Program.
Cabral has also shown strong leadership through his service as Chapter President for Black Professionals in International Affairs, Collegiate 100 member, New Student Orientation Leader, and Hugh Thomas Douglas Leadership Academy Scholar. He will conduct summer research at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
Together, Chapman and Cabral exemplify Morehouse College’s mission of leadership, service, and excellence, while advancing inclusion and representation within higher education.
