Single-Year Record $5.8 Million in Scholarships Awarded to Morgan State University Students Increases Access to Education

Single-Year Record $5.8 Million in Scholarships Awarded to Morgan State University Students Increases Access to Education
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on June 26, 2024

Morgan State University reports that the Morgan State University Foundation (MSUF) awarded a record-topping $5.8 million in scholarships to 2,560 students during fiscal year 2024. This historic year of philanthropic achievement represents the Foundation’s largest number of scholarship recipients and funding awarded in an academic year. This milestone underscores the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to advancing educational opportunities and supporting the academic pursuits of Morgan students.

“It has been an exceptional year for our university, marked by the remarkable success of our scholarship program through the University's foundation. We are proud to have awarded our deserving students a record number of scholarships, enabling them to pursue their academic dreams and profoundly impact their communities,” said David K. Wilson, president of Morgan State University.



“This achievement underscores our commitment to supporting educational excellence and fostering an inclusive environment where every student can thrive. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our generous donors and dedicated staff for their unwavering support and dedication to student success. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for our students and our institution.”

The $5.8 million in scholarships awarded through the Foundation are distinct from those distributed by the University’s Office of Financial Aid. MSUF-awarded scholarships highlight the Foundation’s vital role in providing philanthropic support to advance the mission of the university as outlined in the University’s “Transformation Morgan 2030: Leading the Future” strategic plan. The previous record for Foundation scholarships awarded stood at $5.1 million during the 2022-23 academic school year. The scholarships awarded this past year primarily supported undergraduate students.
