Honoring the Entrepreneurial Spirit of Amos O. Webster, Jr.

In 2023, the family of the late Amos O. Webster, Jr., an astute businessman, established a fund to support the entrepreneurial endeavors of a Tennessee State University alum - his beloved alma mater. The fund provided non-dilutive grants to two budding entrepreneurs. Faith Cornelius Wimberly – founder and CEO of Maven Recruiting & Consulting in Chicago, IL – and Ramerra Reno – owner of B3 Boutique in Nashville, TN – were recipients of the inaugural grant, receiving $5,000 and $2,500, respectively.

The 2024 grant application process will open on August 1, with a submission deadline of September 12, 2024 at 11:59PM. We invite the Tennessee State University community, including alumni, friends, and family, to contribute to the fund and honor Amos O. Webster, Jr.'s legacy of giving back.

Tennessee State University alumni are encouraged to apply. The second grant will be announced on September 26, 2024.
