According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, entrepreneur Aisha “Pinky” Cole —founder of the Atlanta-based restaurant Slutty Vegan—has teamed up with Clark Atlanta University for the creation of a scholarship fund for Brooks’ four children.
George T. French, who serves as the president of the HBCU, says he hopes the scholarship fund will alleviate some of the financial burdens that the family is facing as a result of Brooks’ death, adding the fund will “help them on their pathway of success.”
Several collegiate institutions and organizations are launching scholarship funds for children whose parents lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement officials.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority recently announced it will create scholarships for George Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter Gianna and his granddaughters to attend a historically Black college or university of their choice.
