Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund

Thurgood Marshall successfully argued the 1954 landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, ordering desegregation of public schools. He later became the first African-American appointed to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.The Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund ("TMSF") was established in 1987 to carry on Justice Thurgood Marshall's legacy of equal access to higher education by supporting exceptional merit scholars attending America's public historically black colleges and universities. Fifty-four schools are members of the TMSF, including Thurgood Marshall's alma mater Lincoln University, PA , and many of the nation's largest and most prestigious institutions of higher education.
