About the R.H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund

The R.H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund is dedicated to assisting students with achieving academic and career success through providing scholarships for undergraduate and graduate studies. We also support community organizations that have a hands-on approach to providing opportunities for advancement to those in need.

We stand on the shoulders of our founder, Dr. Richard Henry Boyd, who was born at a time when most Black people were enslaved, and their literacy was a crime. More than 125 years later, we proudly support students at HBCU's and PWl's across the country who are bringing their dreams to reality, as well as community organizations that are making a direct impact on those that they serve.
