The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) in partnership with Apple is proud to present the Apple HBCU Scholars Program. The program is open for those who are enrolled full-time at a four-year accredited HBCU (Historically black colleges and universities) or PBI (Predominately Black Institution). The goal of scholarship is to increase talent in STEM fields, so we will select a large number of students pursuing a degree in these areas of study. Selected scholars will participate in a 12-week internship during the summer before their senior year, and will receive up to $25,000 in scholarship funding.
Thurgood Marshall College Fund helps students to acquire a high-quality college education at an affordable cost, develops leaders of tomorrow and connects high performing students with top tier employment opportunities.
