The Thurgood Marshall College Fund has played a pivotal role in my college career. Since becoming associated with this organization, I have been able to connect with several other scholars who, like me, are pursuing their education at HBCUs. TMCF is not only an organization that provides funding to HBCU students in need, but I consider it to be a lifelong network filled with so many opportunities that will propel me to the next level in my career. I am so grateful for TMCF, and I consider it a blessing to be serving as a TMCF Yard Ambassador on the campus of Mississippi Valley State University this year.
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund has been a lifesaver to my education! They have been nothing but supportive and I can say that they have shaped me for my future career. They take care of their students and overall just want to see the best out of us. I will always love TMCF and I will give back once I make it in my career.
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund has exceeded my expectations. Doing absolutely more than what has been asked! Being an outlet of service in all aspects of life. TMCF has allowed me to become a better me professionally, financially, and mentally. Being granted the opportunity to work with such a distinguished organization has given me the tools that I am able to conquer any obstacle & do anything I put my mind too. Thank you TMCF for giving me the drive I needed to successfully take the world by storm & create my own legacy!
It has been such a pleasure to work in partnership with Thurgood Marshal College Fund for over 20 years. Their commitment and dedication to providing opportunities for HBCU students and their institutions is incredible. They have helped us reach and uplift more students every year. TMCF continues to deliver, time and time again. We look forward to continue to grow our partnership and opportunities for the next generation of HBCU students.
TMCF has opened doors for me that I would have bad little chance walking through otherwise.
Being a high performing student with a diverse skillset was not enough to get me noticed by employers. Through the professional development and networking opportunities, TMCF helped me to achieve my career goal of being a Project Manager at fortune 500 Company, before I have finished graduate school.
Through scholarships from TMCF, my junior and senior year were paid in full.
Professional development and networking through TMCF has helped me to secure a job that allows me to pay for grad school out of pocket comfortably.
Some people just need an opportunity and I am an example of that.
TMCF is a juggernaut for the HBCU community. They are the premier pipeline for college to career opportunities.
Thurgood Marshall College Fund is among the great American Institutions. Its commitment to public HBCU students, faculty, staff, and administrators could not be stronger. TMCF's leaders doggedly pursue opportunities for its members and they proudly tout the important contributions of public HBCU's to American society. This is a mission-driven group, advancing the equity imperative--on the ground, everyday.

Thurgood Marshall College Fund is doing tremendous work preparing and supporting our future leaders. Their programming is energizing, powerful, and purposeful. Not only do the students leave with skills they'll use to help propel them but volunteers leave invigorated and inspired.
I am a current HBCU student who had my first endeavor with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund during the month May of this year. At the time that I am submitting this post which is only 3 months after my first endeavor with the organization, not only have I received nearly $10,000 worth of scholarship money from the organization, they have also provided me with all expense paid trips where I've gotten to meet with numerous fortune 500 company CEOs. All of this has provided me with business coaches who have more to offer than any business college professor as well as more opportunities for internships than I can count. To top it all off, the pictures attached are instances where I received autographs from both the founder and CEO. Needless to say, this organization is more than just that, they are a newfound family to me.
Thurgood Marshall College Fund has been one of the most organized and dedicated partners that I have had a pleasure of working with. As a corporate partner, we have had the opportunity to engage with highly motivated students who are smart in their own right! This partnership has allowed us to help diversify our talent pipeline and create a strong brand, especially prior to recruitment season.
