About the BAB Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship:After her son¿s murder, Mamie Till-Mobley channeled her passion for justice and her love for children into advocacy and a career as a teacher in Chicago schools. A 1971 graduate of Loyola University Chicago¿s Graduate School of Education, she embodied the university¿s Jesuit commitment to care for the whole person and act on knowledge in service to humanity. In honor of the contributions Mamie Till-Mobley has made to the youth of Chicago and the cause of justice for Black children everywhere, Loyola¿s Black Alumni Board and its supporters aim to establish an endowed scholarship at Loyola in her name. The scholarship will recognize and support a worthy graduate of a Chicagoland high school in good academic standing and engaged in the Black community.
This scholarship will serve as permanent recognition of Mamie Till-Mobley¿s affiliation with Loyola and a fitting remembrance of her powerful career as a spokesperson for justice. The scholarship will send a clear message that activists working in the Black community will find rich opportunities to elevate their goals at Loyola. Memorializing Mamie Till-Mobley in this way will elevate her as an example for generations of Loyola students, calling all to emulate her courage, wisdom, creativity, and resolute determination to heal the wounds so many have borne. The BAB Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship will be part of a rising tide of efforts at Loyola to counter past inequities in college access and resources including Arrupe College, Achieving College Excellence, and The Rambler Brotherhood.
