BLACK ALUMNI BOARD'S MAMIE TILL-MOBLEY SCHOLARSHIP
The Black Alumni Board's Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship Fund will be endowed to honor the legacy of Mamie Till-Mobley (MEd '71), Loyola alumna and civil rights leader who is most well known as Emmett Till's mother. This scholarship fund will serve as permanent recognition of Mamie Till-Mobley’s affiliation with Loyola and a fitting remembrance of her powerful role as a spokesperson for justice.
Why should I give?
This scholarship will send a clear message that activists working in the Black community will find rich opportunities to elevate their goals at Loyola. Memorializing Till-Mobley in this way will elevate her as an example for generations of Loyola students, calling all to emulate her courage, wisdom, creativity, and resolute determination to heal the wounds so many have borne.
The challenge!
When 40 donors give to the Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship during Rambler Rally, an additional $10,000 will be unlocked from alumna and Board of Trustees Member, Melody Spann Cooper (BA '87).
What do the funds support?
Gifts to the Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship will support a worthy graduate of a Chicagoland high school who is engaged with the Black community through leadership or service, has a GPA of at least 2.75, and demonstrates financial need.
