<p>Steve Harvey is giving back to his alma mater, Kent State University in Ohio. The famed comedian/ talk-show host has committed to covering the tuition for eight incoming freshmen.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2019/07/01/college-costs-comedian-steve-harvey-fund-8-kent-state-freshman/1615692001/">USA Today</a></em>, in a <em><a href="https://www.kent.edu/kent/news/talk-show-host-and-former-kent-state-student-steve-harvey-pays-it-forward">statement</a></em> released by the college, the Steve &; Marjorie Harvey Foundation, along with Kent State University will provide these students with full four-year scholarships. The students must maintain a 2.5 GPA for the scholarships to renew each semester.</p>
<p>The scholarships are in memory of Devin Moore, a Kent State student and a member of the Psi Gamma Chapter, who passed away in 2017 while playing basketball at Kent State&#8217;s Student Recreation and Wellness Center.</p>
<p>The recipients of the scholarships appeared on Steve’s talk show last week on June 26<sup>th</sup> along with Sonya Williams, the executive director of Kent State University, where he announced that the recipients, who are eight young men, would be receiving the scholarships.</p>
<p>The university also mentioned that the Steve &; Marjorie Harvey Foundation are also making a financial commitment to Kent State’s Men Empowerment Network within the school’s Student Multicultural Center.</p>
<p>Steve said, “Whenever we can, we find a way to change the lives of young people through scholarship programs we have come up with.”</p>
