Support Our Students

Supporting students through scholarships is an important part of our mission. In February 2000, our scholarship fund was named after the first African-American professor at Baylor University, Dr. Vivienne Malone-Mayes. Since 2002, we have been able to award nearly $50,000 in academic scholarships to deserving Baylor students.

SUPPORT OUR SCHOLARSHIP
