Joyce Payne in cooperation with Miller Brewing Co., Sony Music, the NBA, Reebok and the American Association for State Colleges and Universities. TMCF supports and represents over 300,000 students attending its 47 member-schools t

From Lagos, Nigeria to Fayetteville State University, Adejuwon Balogun’s path to graduation was paved with determination and hard work.

After paying for his first two semesters entirely out-of-pocket and searching endlessly for funding, Adejuwon received his very first scholarship through the Thurgood Marshall College Fund — a renewable award sponsored by Vanguard.

That support did more than ease his financial burden; it opened doors to professional development, mentorship at Leadership Institute and the confidence to finish his computer science degree strong.
