ۿ۴ýUniversity 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 ۿ۴ýۿ۴ý 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 ۿ۴ý and their families.

"ۿ۴ýUniversity 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 ۿ۴ýUniversity. “Our partnership with the Tracking Foundation exemplifies the support needed to remove barriers that prevent our ۿ۴ý 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 ۿ۴ý excel makes a significant impact," Nixon said.

The Board of Trustees Chair, Norma Clayton, affirmed the university's ongoing dedication to ensuring ۿ۴ý can complete their education. She stated, "Ensuring our ۿ۴ý 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 ۿ۴ýUniversity's mission to empower ۿ۴ý, break down financial barriers, and nurture academic excellence.
