In 1925, an outgoing and strong-willed young man enrolled in Lincoln University. Tenacious, skillful, and
persuasive, the young man quickly became the University’s star debater. After graduating cum laude with
distinction, he enrolled in Howard University Law School, where he graduated at the top of his class in 1933.
Yet at the time, no one could have predicted that in 1967, Thurgood Marshall would become the first African-
American associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Justice Marshall’s commitment to education began as a young lawyer fighting the State of Maryland for equal
pay for black school teachers who were receiving the same salary as janitors. Throughout his career Thurgood
Marshall worked within the legal system to make his vision of equal access to education a reality through
precedent-setting court cases.
In Brown vs. Board of Education the United States Supreme Court struck down the “Separate but Equal”
doctrine, thus ending legalized segregation of educational institutions.
After winning a difficult racial discrimination case against the University of Maryland, Thurgood Marshall
declared, “we’re in the education business!” It is this legacy and commitment to education that is the
foundation of the Thurgood Marshall Fund’s (TMCF) mission to prepare “The Best of the Best.” In 1987, Thurgood
Marshall College Fund (formally Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund) was founded under the leadership of
Dr. N. Joyce Payne in cooperation with Miller Brewing Company, Sony Music, NBA, Reebok, and the American
Association for State Colleges and Universities. Public Historically Black Colleges and Universities have been
educating young men and women for over 168 years.
TMCF is the only national organization to provide merit scholarships, programmatic and capacity building
support to 47 public HBCUs. Since our inception, TMCF has provided more than $100 million in scholarships and
programmatic support to students attending our 47 member public HBCUs and 6 Historically Black Law Schools.
TMCF is a designated 4 star charity by Charity Navigator. TMCF member universities are a critical source of
higher education for African Americans. More than eighty percent of all students enrolled in historically black
colleges and universities attend TMCF member schools. Many public HBCU graduates have become leaders in
the business, government and entertainment industries. However, few of these achievements would be possible
without the support of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. 86% of all students attending public HBCUs require
some form of financial assistance.

The demographic report provides an in-depth look at the enormous impact that Public HBCUs make in their
local, regional, statewide and national communities. It also highlights the challenges these important institutions
currently face. Thurgood Marshall College Fund’s 47 member public HBCUs have made tremendous contributions
to their host communities, statewide and on a national scope. TMCF has been the nation’s single strongest
advocate for public HBCUs for more than 20 years. As part of TMCF’s broader mission to provide capacity-
building support and conduct research relevant to the institutions’ respective missions, the organization
publishes the Annual Demographic Report, an examination of the impact of public HBCUs and the challenges
— many of them unique to HBCUs — the institutions currently face. The Demographic Report has become a
highly regarded source for in-depth analysis of enrollment, endowments, institutional finances, financial aid,
ethnic and geographic diversity, degrees, faculty, and more. The philanthropic community, government and
corporate sectors have all benefited from information gathered in this important report.
