Thurgood Marshall College Fund Named for the U.S. Supreme Court's first African-American Justice, TMCF was founded in 1987 to support publicly-supported HBCUs.

The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is named for the U.S. Supreme Court's first African-American Justice. It was established in 1987 under the leadership of Dr. N. 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 that include public Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), medical schools and law schools. TMCF helps students with a clear intention and the motivation to succeed and acquire a high-quality college education at an affordable cost. TMCF also efficiently connects high performing, world-ready students with top tier employment opportunities—access that students or employers might not have on their own. Through its scholarships and programs, TMCF plays a key role in preparing leaders of tomorrow. TMCF is the only national organization to provide scholarships, programmatic and capacity building support to publicly-supported HBCUs and to date has awarded more than $200 million in such assistance to its students and member-schools. TMCF member-schools are a vital source of higher education for all students and more than 80% of all students enrolled in HBCUs attend TMCF member-schools.

Tuskegee senior Jaida Bazemore is taking HBCU excellence to a national stage.

Bazemore recently spoke at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund’s 39th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C., sharing her Tuskegee journey and the impact of investing in HBCU students.

A business administration major concentrating in supply chain management, Bazemore serves as Miss Brimmer and co-created Tiger’s Comfort Corner, providing free menstrual care products to students.

Through TMCF, she secured internship opportunities with Caterpillar Inc. and Boeing and interned with Caterpillar last summer.

Now, she’s helping open those same doors for her peers, helping increase Tuskegee student participation in TMCF’s Leadership Institute from nine students last year to 15 this year.
