Racial Justice Scholarship

During the memorial service of George Floyd, universities were called upon to create a scholarship in his memory that will support efforts to create a more just and equitable world. As a Catholic institution, we are living our mission as we embrace and prioritize seeking sustained racial reform and equity for all. Thus, the Good Trouble Legacy Scholarship was established to support undergraduate students whose identities are underrepresented at the University of St. Thomas or whose studies focus on racial and social justice. The scholarship’s title is a reference to the late Representative John Lewis, who embodied the activism and leadership of the Civil Rights Movement.
