Mission Statement
The Alice C Humphrey Foundation is dedicated to providing STEM and Arts (STEAM) educational opportunities to youth in historically marginalized communities, and scholarships to students at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs). We honor the legacy of our founder, Alice C Humphrey, by empowering students to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential through education.
About This Cause
Our founder, Alice C Humphrey, was born and raised in Flint, Michigan where she graduated from Flint Northwestern HS. Having lost both parents at an early age, she chartered her journey to college, earning a B.A. and M.B.A. from Texas Southern University, where she pledged Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Most of Alice's career was in the airline industry where she held various positions. After retiring, she went back to work to become a math and science teacher for underrepresented middle schoolers. Alice enjoyed photography, cycling, traveling, enriching the lives of her students, and connecting people. Alice was a 3X breast cancer survivor and passed away on March 27, 2020, from complications of COVID-19. Our purpose is twofold - to provide educational opportunities for underrepresented children and to support deserving students in pursuing higher education at HBCUs. We believe that through education, we can break the cycle of poverty, empower young minds, and create a more equitable society. Empowering Underrepresented Children: We are committed to identifying and assisting underrepresented children in their academic journey. By collaborating with schools, community organizations, and local stakeholders, we aim to provide resources, mentorship, and access to quality education with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math). Our comprehensive programs range fromeducational servicesto skills developmentand personalized support to ensure every child can realize their potential and succeed in life. Enabling Dreams through Scholarships: Texas Southern University held a special place in the heart of our founder, Alice C Humphrey, and like her, we believe in the transformative power of higher education. To that end, we offer scholarships to deserving students attending HBCUs who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and a commitment to making a positive impact on their community. Our scholarships will open doors to opportunities that may otherwise be beyond their reach, allowing them to excel in their chosen fields and become future leaders and change-makers.
