Anti-racism initiatives, including George Floyd scholarship, coming to the University of Michigan
With help from alumnus Marchell Willian, UM also is establishing the George Floyd Memorial Scholarship, officials said. Willian gave the lead endowment to establish the scholarship fund, which will give preference to students who have participated in Wolverine Pathways — the college-readiness program that serves students from Detroit, Southfield and Ypsilanti school districts — and who have demonstrated a commitment to bettering their communities.
