The Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship will be accepting applications now through Monday, Nov. 27.

UDM students who have worked at the Detroit Mercy Libraries or Varsity News or volunteered with the Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN), for at least one year — and plan to continue with these activities — may apply. Students pursuing studies in Performing Arts or Communications are also encouraged to submit an application.

The scholarship is intended to help cover the costs of textbooks and lab fees at the University. The Detroit Mercy Libraries, Varsity News and TENN plan to award this scholarship annually in December, beginning in 2023, to honor Adia’s legacy of creativity, inspiration and elevation, as well as her desire to spread joy, peace and love to make the world a better place.

While the number and dollar amount of scholarships to be awarded is yet to be determined, awardees will be notified by early December 2023 and scholarships may be used as early as in the Winter semester in 2024.
