Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship now accepting applications

Adia PalmerUDM 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 for the Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship. Students pursuing studies in Performing Arts or Communications are also encouraged to apply. Applications are being accepted now through Tuesday, Nov. 26.

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 launched this scholarship in 2023 to honor Palmer’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 2024, and scholarships may be used as early as the Winter 2025 semester.
