Steve Harvey is giving back to his alma mater, Kent State University in Ohio. The famed comedian/ talk-show host has committed to covering the tuition for eight incoming freshmen.
According to USA Today, in a statement released by the college, the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, along with Kent State University will provide these students with full four-year scholarships. The students must maintain a 2.5 GPA for the scholarships to renew each semester.
The scholarships are in memory of Devin Moore, a Kent State student and a member of the Psi Gamma Chapter, who passed away in 2017 while playing basketball at Kent State’s Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
The recipients of the scholarships appeared on Steve’s talk show last week on June 26th along with Sonya Williams, the executive director of Kent State University, where he announced that the recipients, who are eight young men, would be receiving the scholarships.
The university also mentioned that the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation are also making a financial commitment to Kent State’s Men Empowerment Network within the school’s Student Multicultural Center.
Steve said, “Whenever we can, we find a way to change the lives of young people through scholarship programs we have come up with.”
It’s great to see Steve Harvey give back in a major way!
