FedEx is a proud supporter of seven diverse scholarship organizations focused on increased access to higher educational opportunities and leadership development. For the last four years, FedEx has supported the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) through direct scholarships and the Fund’s annual Leadership Institute to help increase the pipeline of diverse talent for internships and employment.
Dailyn Hereford, a senior marketing major at Jackson State University and TMCF scholar, knows firsthand that personal interactions can leave lasting impressions for college students making internship and employment decisions.
As a student attending TMCF’s 2019 Leadership Institute – a five-day professional development workshop held in Washington, D.C. for students attending TMCF HBCU member schools – she was able to make a connection with a recruiter and find a home at FedEx.
