Hershey establishes Thurgood Marshall College Fund endowment for food science students
Company donates $1.5 million to start; goal to increase endowment to $3 million.
The Hershey Co. says it will invest $1.5 million in the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) to establish a scholarship endowment, with the goal to increase that to $3 million over the next decade.
The endowment will be used for students pursuing degrees in food science in TMCF-member-schools, which include public colleges that provide advanced education for underrepresented populations.
