On the day George Floyd was laid to rest, Texas Southern University announced it would give a full scholarship to the 6-year-old whose father's death in custody has spurred global demands for an end to police brutality.
TSU's Board of Regents, with its foundation board, "has approved a fund to provide a full scholarship for Floyd's beloved daughter, Gianna," the university announced in a social media post. "TSU's executive and academic staff will prepare a place for Miss Floyd if she wishes to attend the University."
The scholarship is privately funded, the university said, but did not disclose who is paying for it.
Gianna made headlines last week when she proclaimed “Daddy changed the world” in a video posted on social media by Stephen Jackson, a former NBA player and friend of Floyd’s.
