Dear [fname], The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) and Altria Group are pleased to announce a partnership to create the Altria HBCU Scholars Program. The program will launch with a cohort of 10 students selected through a competitive application process. The application is open now, and we are currently seeking students in their sophomore year. Selected students will receive up to $15,000 in scholarships through their senior year to finish their education, and will be placed in a highly-coveted, paid Altria internship. The internship provides a housing and relocation package. The application is open now, but due to volume it is only open for a short time the deadline is May 19, 2017! If you are qualified apply today and if you know someone who is qualified, please share this information with them. TMCF believes that HBCUs are excellent long-term feeders of competitive talent to corporations, and we are proud to connect HBCU students to Americas best companies.
