“My experience with TMCF absolutely prepared me for what I encountered after graduation. The organization’s emphasis on leadership, resilience and adaptability equipped me with the tools to navigate my career effectively from my professional role in cyber security to founding and managing my non-profit. TMCF also provided me with a support system and resources that helped build my confidence to take on leadership roles.”

“The Thurgood Marshall College Fund is more than just an organization that provides financial scholarships. It is an organization that takes its mission further by providing opportunities for students to be immersed in and engaged with many professionals and companies. I personally view TMCF as a blueprint and standard of impact that I intend to do similarly in my own way.”

“The financial assistance that I received from TMCF has aided me in achieving my educational goals. It was easy to apply for scholarships and being awarded allowed me to switch my focus from monetary issues to focusing solely on my education.”

“I found out about the Thurgood Marshall College Fund in my freshman year. I had to sign a $6K loan agreement to be able to move in. My financial aid advisor told me that I should apply for scholarships with TMCF, one of which helped me to get through my freshman year. If it wasn't for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, I would not be able to matriculate through college. I would not have been able to even go to college.”

“The scholarships that I received through the Thurgood Marshall College Fund allowed me to pursue my goals without financial stress, ensuring I can focus on academic success and leadership opportunities. They’ve also inspired me to embody excellence in everything I do, not just for myself but to make a positive impact on others.”
Meliah Bell

“Being part of TMCF has had a significant impact on my personal and professional development. Through TMCF, I was exposed to networking opportunities at high-levels, leadership development sessions and meaningful conversations that helped enhance my communication, clarify my career goals and meet young professionals like me from other HBCUs. TMCF gave me the confidence to pursue competitive roles and step into new environments prepared and empowered.”
