With the help of our donors and corporate partners, Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is an unstoppable force for equity and access to education and beyond for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). We carry forward the legacy of Justice Thurgood Marshall because where you are born should not determine who you can become.  

With your support, we seek to break down barriers for those chasing what is possible. We provide scholarships to those who dare to change their own lives so they can better the lives of others. Please support those who set their sights high, knowing it will lift our community. With your help, TMCF can amplify the ambitions of HBCU students. 

The fight for equity and access to education may be difficult, but we know our future is worth it through scholarships, talent sourcing, upskilling programs, capacity building, and advocacy. TMCF is committed to changing the world one leader at a time.

Your gifts to TMCF help in the following ways:

  • Obtain a degree from an HBCU – 87% graduation rate for those receiving monetary and non-monetary support from TMCF.  
  • Leadership and professional development – 52% of students at our member schools participating in TMCF programming are first-generation college students.

Keep students in school – 1 in 3 first-year college students drop out of our school before their second year. Your gifts help keep them there.
