T-Mobile

On February 1st, the first day of Black History Month, T-Mobile announced a $2.5 million donation through its Magenta Scholars program to support the Thurgood Marshall College Fund's scholarships for students attending historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and the new National Black Talent Bank program that helps high school graduates jumpstart their professional careers and gain access to tailored higher education pathways. The company also announced expanded programming and curriculum for its NextTech Diversity and Magenta Edge initiatives, which provide training to underrepresented candidates interested in the telecom industry and connect Black entrepreneurs with resources to help grow their businesses. T-Mobile's Magenta Scholars program was launched in 2021 in partnership with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to provide educational opportunities to students attending HBCUs. This collaboration, which started with 18 scholarships valued at $500,000, has now expanded to a total of $3 million in support from T-Mobile, spanning both scholarships and the new National Black Talent Bank program.
