Maurice Geyen Business Scholarship
Maurice Geyen was a beloved husband and successful businessman who recently passed away, leaving behind his family.
Maurice believed in encouraging young men to pursue higher education, recognizing the power a degree could have in expanding one’s mind and opening up new opportunities. Education can be a particularly powerful tool for underserved students, including those who have been in the foster care system. Students with this background often have little outside help in life, making the security and stability afforded by many professional jobs particularly valuable.
This scholarship aims to honor the life of Maurice Geyen by supporting students who have experienced the foster care system.
Any African American male high school or undergraduate student who plans to major in business may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’ve been in the foster care system.
To apply, tell us about yourself, why you decided to study business, what your post-graduate plans are, and how the foster care system has impacted you.
Tell us a little about yourself and why you chose to major in business. What's your plan after you graduate? Please share about your experiences in the foster care system and how that's impacted you and your future goals.
