Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for supporting Baylor University's Trailblazer Scholars Program. Your gift directly supports scholarships that will be awarded to the inaugural cohort of Trailblazer Scholars. Thank you for supporting Baylor’s next generation of leaders and for helping to create thoughtful conversations on Baylor’s campus.
President Linda Livingstone, Ph.D. announced the establishment of the Trailblazer Scholars Program on July 13, 2020. The scholarship program is designed to recognize the importance of fostering diversity and mutual respect at Baylor University. This program is one small part of creating thoughtful conversations and change on Baylor's campus.
Students in the Trailblazer Scholars Program will participate in leadership and service opportunities through Baylor’s Multicultural Affairs Department and through other groups and programs on Baylor’s campus. Trailblazer Scholarships honoring donors and trailblazers throughout Baylor's history will be established to support these Scholars.
Each year 20 students will be named Trailblazer Scholars and will grow to include 80 or more students. The University invested and launched the program with $5 million in scholarship support, but the active involvement of alumni and friends will support the program's growth. Contributions will help us meet the goal of providing 80 or more students renewable scholarship support through Trailblazer Scholarships.
Part of Baylor’s commitment to listen, learn and take actionable steps regarding racial healing and justice in America, the Trailblazer Scholars Program also reflects the University’s mission to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community.
