Needs
The Victor Bashon Jackson I Scholarship was established in honor of Pastor Vic Jackson, the first African American to be part of the senior staff of Dallas International University. The first two, full-tuition scholarships were awarded in 2022.
DIU is raising additional funds for another Victor Bashon Jackson I Scholarships to be awarded to an African American student in Fall 2023. Please join us on NTX GIVING DAY to raise $24,000 for this exciting opportunity. Generous donors are providing $9,500 in matching funds so you can DOUBLE the impact of your gift!
