IRS990/Desc0HBCU ScholarshipsThe Dr. Maya Angelou Foundation (DMAF) fulfills its mission by awarding Annie Henderson and Willie Johnson scholarships to deserving students to attend historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). One award is granted to a general student and the other scholarship is awarded to a physically-challenged/mobility-impaired or re-entry student. The scholarship recipients must be progressing satisfactorily in order to qualify for the second year. The GPA requirement is 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Dr. Angelou understood the importance of HBCUs as a key driver in building a strong middle class in America. In 2024, DMAF awarded $60,000 in scholarships to worthy students. The Foundation remains honored to serve as a conduit to ensure that all students have access to institutions of academic excellence.
