Perry

The Tajia M. Perry Memorial Scholarship is established to honor the life and legacy of Tajia M. Perry, who faced significant health challenges yet excelled in her educational pursuits. Born in Denver, Colorado, and raised in Houston, Texas, Tajia was known for her resilience, ambition, and dedication to uplifting others, particularly those with learning differences or health challenges. This scholarship aims to support African American female undergraduate students in the Houston, Texas, or Denver, Colorado areas who have faced extraordinary circumstances, reflecting Tajia's belief that every child deserves to be seen and celebrated. The scholarship not only provides financial assistance but also affirms the spirit of perseverance and purpose that Tajia embodied throughout her life.
