Keep Going Scholarship
Overview
The Keep Going Scholarship Fund was launched in 2021 with an initial $50,000 investment to support Black students from Louisville’s West End in their pursuit of higher education. The scholarship covers college expenses such as tuition, books, academic fees, and room and board. It aims to ease the financial burden for students and provide them the opportunity to pursue their academic and social justice goals.
This scholarship honors Travis Nadgy’s fight for justice and carries forward his legacy through the next generation of leaders. It is an essential resource for students in the West End, empowering them to pursue higher education without the financial obstacles that may otherwise hold them back.

Additionally, these funds will help unlock a $10,000 matching commitment from Cities United to ensure that scholarships can continue for at least two more years.
