About Our Scholarship

The Marsha Neal-Vann Scholarship Foundation provides scholarships to students’ imbalances within the current educational system. Our foundation advocates for the students who unjustly experience the inadequacies of academic resources and funding for higher education. The MNV Scholarship Foundation awards these students with scholarships in an attempt to level the educational playing field.

An eligible MNV Scholar will receive a scholarship depending on available funds. All funds are awarded directly to the scholar.
