Barnes-Harris Scholarship Endowment
The goal of the Barnes-Harris Endowment is to support incoming freshmen from metropolitan public high schools, who are enrolled full-time (12 or more credits each term), and who demonstrate financial need.
The Barnes-Harris Scholarship was established in the names of Marvis Evon Barnes 鈥�59 and Myra Ann Harris '59, Towson University's first African-American graduates.
The Barnes-Harris Scholarship Endowment was created in 1993 by members of G.O.L.D. (Granting Opportunity for Learning and Development) Associates, a group of TU black alumni including Monica Taylor 鈥�87, 鈥�94 (President); Ira Cox 鈥�88; Pamela (Wright) Gray 鈥�87; Paul-Sean Gray, Sr. 鈥�88; June (Wood) James 鈥�86; Rodney Keller 鈥�88; Vernon Marrow 鈥�87; Wanda (Valentine) Price 鈥�88; Michael Ray 鈥�88; Tracie (Gutrick) Upchurch 鈥�89.*
Both Ms. Barnes and Ms. Harris wanted the scholarship to be awarded to a freshman who possessed 鈥渁 strong allegiance and has been influence by the African-American culture.鈥�
