Legacy of Leadership Applications Are Now Closed
Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2024 scholarship recipients! Students currently enrolled at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) are eligible to win 1 of 21 scholarships, up to $5,000 per student along with other special prizes…
Scholarships will be available to students currently enrolled full-time as a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior. Scholarships will be awarded through the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
Creme of Nature and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund are empowering the next generation of Historically Black College & University leaders, change agents, and entrepreneurs to build THEIR LEGACY through our Legacy of Leadership Scholarship program.
The incredible story and road to greatness for some of our most powerful Queens and Kings started at an HBCU. The legacy of birthing greatness to the world continues to be the gift that an HBCU education keeps on giving, and no one knows that better than Creme of Nature, the beloved brand that has been alongside you on your journey, creating products for ethnic hair for more than four decades.
The Creme Of Nature Legacy
The Legacy of Leadership program was created by Creme of Nature in 2020 to assist HBCU students with the critical funding support they need to nurture and develop their personal legacy brands, as well as to support the company’s ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion that’s specific to HBCUs.
The Legacy Of Leadership Commitment
In 2020, Creme of Nature announced the launch of its multi-tiered Legacy of Leadership program – kicking off with its initial $100,000 scholarship fund for HBCU students. This was followed by a Pitch Competition where HBCU students used their entrepreneurial skills to compete for $30,000 in scholarship funding, plus other enriching opportunities.
Creme of Nature is proud to continue on our Legacy of Leadership commitment for a 4th year increasing its scholarship initiative to $105,000! Supporters, parents, and students are encouraged to follow Creme of Nature on social media for news and updates about this program.
