Tuskegee University is proud to announce a $6.2 million gift from the Tracking Foundation to support student scholarships through the Stephen Feinberg Scholarship Program.

“Tuskegee University students are our most significant investment,” said Dr. Mark A. Brown, President and CEO. “The ongoing support from the Tracking Foundation and more specifically, Trustee and Tuskegee alum Greg Nixon, helps to ensure our students have the resources they need to complete their education and leave Tuskegee prepared to help solve the nation’s problems.”

With the gift, the Tracking Foundation, in collaboration with Greg Nixon, has donated almost $20 million in the last five years.

“The Tracking Foundation’s support for the next generation of scholars helps to ensure those high academic achievers who need financial support are allowed to continue their college careers uninterrupted,” said Nixon. “We are committed to supporting brilliance in this way.”

As Tuskegee expands academic programs to include introducing the new aviation degree program or expand research initiatives that include breast cancer in the Black Belt South, support through the Feinberg Scholarship Program helps to provide students with support to focus on their research or studies.

“This kind of ongoing commitment from our Trustees is what helps keep the Tuskegee foundation strong,” said Norma Clayton, Tuskegee Board of Trustees Chair. “Our gratitude for The Tracking Foundation and Mr. Nixon is ongoing.”
