The beneficiaries are students of both Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominately White Institutions (PWIs) and will be selected in the Fall of 2024. Previous scholarships have been presented to students from George Mason University, Pomona College, Hampton University, University of Southern California, Yale University, Texas Southern University, and Shaw University, among others.
