A Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) employee recently served as the luncheon keynote speaker for Florida A&M University’s (FAMU) inaugural University Scholarship Program Onboarding Institute.
Jacqueline Powers, vice president of scholarships at TMCF, provided remarks to the class of 2029 students in the FAMU Honors and University Scholars Program. The event marked the beginning of their academic journey as leaders and scholars.
Powers’ presentation was entitled “Stay Ready: Excellence, Integrity, and Elevation at Every Stage,” and encouraged students to embrace their opportunities with focus, resourcefulness and determination.
Powers spoke about the importance of honoring the legacy of historically Black institutions by maximizing every resource and reminded students that being ready and taking action open doors to lasting success.
FAMU’s University Scholarship Program is dedicated to fostering holistic student development through academic excellence, leadership and community service. FAMU is one of TMCF’s 57 member schools.
