Tilmon F. Brown and Jonnie R. Brown Scholarship Fund

Established in 2010 by Tilmon F. and Jonnie R. Brown to provide undergraduate scholarships in the College of Arts and Sciences. Must demonstrate financial need. Domestic students must complete the FAFSA; international students must submit a financial need statement via the general application. Preference is given to students from underrepresented* communities, especially those from Rochester and Buffalo.

*For purposes of this scholarship, the term underrepresented  is intended to refer to individuals who have been historically underrepresented in a particular field of study, profession, or educational pathway based on factors such as socioeconomic background (e.g., Pell eligibility), first-generation college status, geographic origin, educational access, AmeriCorps alumni status, veteran status, or other unprotected characteristics. This term does not establish preference based on race, sex, ethnicity, or any other protected classification under applicable federal or state law.
