The Matthew Holt Redmond Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of the late husband of the Young, Black & Widowed Inc founder.

The Matthew Holt Redmond Memorial Scholarship is distributed across the United States to Millennial and Generation Z widows and widow(er)s of color.

Applicants must be pursuing a degree or professional certificate in any major at an accredited college or university within the United States.

​

The scholarship is funded through private donors and fundraising by Young, Black & Widowed Inc.

This scholarship celebrates black excellence in times of immense tragedy and supports widows and widowers as they restart their lives and rebuild financial stability for generations to come.
