Through the MTSU Community Foundation, MMY proudly offers two annual scholarships to help support local students in their educational journey and future aspirations.

These scholarships are more than financial assistance — they are an investment in the next generation of leaders, changemakers, and community builders. By supporting students pursuing higher education, we aim to empower young people to achieve their goals and create lasting impact in their communities.

MTSU Scholarship in Memory of Deah, Yusor, and Razan

Established in memory of Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha, this scholarship honors the lives and legacy of three young individuals whose commitment to service, education, compassion, and community inspired people across the nation.

Following the tragic events in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 2015, this scholarship was created to ensure their spirit of generosity and dedication to helping others continues to live on through future generations of students.

Through this scholarship, we strive to support and uplift students who embody the same values of leadership, service, academic excellence, and community engagement.
