Hennessy and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund expand the reach of the Hennessy Fellows program to all HBCU graduates, addressing critical needs of TMCF’s member HBCUs and their students.

Hennessy Fellows is an unprecedented $10M initiative for HBCU grad students, designed to equip the next generation of diverse C-suite leaders through financial assistance, access and experiences.

To celebrate those that will miss the milestone of graduation this year, Hennessy and TMCF are proud to sponsor D-Nice’s official after-party for the National HBCU Commencement Celebration on May 16th.

DJ D-Nice’s #ShowMeYourWalk HBCU Grad Partywill kick off at 9pm ET on Instagram Live for viewers aged 21+.
Members of the Hennessy family, including Nas and A$AP Ferg, will partake in the virtual celebration.
In addition to highlighting graduates and their institutions, the #ShowMeYourWalk HBCU Grad Partywill raise funds for participating HBCUs and their students.

Hennessy and TMCF congratulate the inaugural Hennessy Fellows class graduating this month.

Comprised of eight graduate students, each prepared to enter the workforce no matter what it holds.
Hennessy & TMCF also welcome a second cohort of Fellows: ten high-achieving, high-potential students representing Clark Atlanta University, Howard, Morgan State, Southern and Florida A&M Universities.
Applications for the third class of Hennessy Fellows will open starting August 2020.

Due to these unprecedented times, Hennessy and TMCF will open up resources and access to all HBCU students with a first-ever online academy.

Launching in June, the learning resource will be available to Hennessy Fellows and all HBCU students aged 21+.
Designed specifically for diverse candidates, the platform pulls back the curtain to C-Suite leaders, offering transparent insights and resources to help students navigate corporate America.
Access can be found via the Hennessy Fellows page at TMCF.org.
