Universities Offering George Floyd Memorial Scholarships

Several universities are creating scholarships and memorial funds in George Floyd’s memory after he died in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.

North Central University in Minneapolis was the first to implement a George Floyd scholarship, whose president, Scott Hagan, urged “every university president in the United States to establish your own George Floyd Memorial Scholarship Fund.” Since then, the list of participating colleges has burgeoned to include Pennsylvania State University, the University of Minnesota, the University of Memphis, Ohio University, the University of Utah.
