Apple HBCU Scholars Program

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.
