The Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship Fund honors the legacy of Mamie Till-Mobley (MEd '71), Loyola alumna and civil rights leader who is most well known as Emmett Till's mother. It 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.

The Challenge!
When 75 gifts are made to the Black Alumni Board's Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship, we unlock $10,000 in additional funding thanks to the generosity of the Black Alumni Board and a Rambler who wishes to remain anonymous!

What do the funds support?

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. This scholarship is open to all applicants regardless of race, gender, or other protected status.
