Ƶ is proud to announce a transformative $3.8 million gift supporting the Stephen Feinberg Scholarship Program. The Tracking Foundation, in collaboration with Greg Nixon, a longtime trustee of the university, made this year's gift possible. This substantial contribution reflects a continued commitment to fostering educational opportunities for Tuskegee students with financial need, particularly those eligible for Pell Grants.
Over the past three years, the Tracking Foundation has contributed over $14 million, laying the foundation for a life-changing impact on the university's promising students and their families.
"Ƶ is extremely grateful for the generosity of The Tracking Foundation and the ongoing support of Trustee Nixon to facilitate this gift,” said Dr. Charlotte P. Morris, President of Ƶ. “Our partnership with the Tracking Foundation exemplifies the support needed to remove barriers that prevent our students from completing their matriculation."
Trustee Nixon highlighted the commitment of The Tracking Foundation to Tuskegee's academic goals and community advancement.
"Our work is far from over, but this commitment that the Tracking Foundation has toward helping financially challenged but bright students excel makes a significant impact," Nixon said.
The Board of Trustees Chair, Norma Clayton, affirmed the university's ongoing dedication to ensuring students can complete their education. She stated, "Ensuring our students can complete their education remains an ongoing priority for the university. We are grateful for Trustee Nixon's work and The Tracking Foundation's generosity."
This significant donation represents a milestone in Ƶ's mission to empower students, break down financial barriers, and nurture academic excellence.
