Celebrating the life and legacy of Mamie Till-Mobley
The Black Alumni Board Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship
Over fifty years ago, Mamie Till received a Masters of Education from Loyola University Chicago. In honor of the contributions Mamie Till-Mobley made to the youth of Chicago and the cause of justice for Black children everywhere, Loyola’s Black Alumni Board and its supporters aim to establish an endowed scholarship at Loyola in her name. This scholarship will be awarded to students in good academic standing, with demonstrated financial need, who are graduates of a Chicagoland high school, and have an affiliation to a Black and/or African American community via leadership or community service.
This scholarship 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 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. SUPPORT THE SCHOLARSHIP.
