I Am A Star Scholarship Fund

I Am A Star Scholarship Fund 

Established at Tennessee State University in 2014 by Starr Allen Class of 2004, the I Am A Star Scholarship supports out-of-state students at TSU facing financial challenges. Inspired by MorningStar International, Inc.'s mission to Educate, Equip, Encourage, and Empower youth and young adults to compete in a global economy, not by chance, but by a purposeful design, the scholarship aims to help future leaders succeed.

Starr, a Detroit, Michigan native, knows what it takes for students to leave home and pursue higher education. She established this scholarship specifically for students selecting TSU as their HBCU destination, aiming to lessen their financial challenges so they can stay focused on learning and achieving their goals.

After earning her Bachelor's Degree in Accounting at TSU, Starr founded MorningStar International, Inc., which started in Atlanta in 2008 and expanded to Detroit in 2010. MorningStar was created because she believes young people deserve an empowering, realistic, and purpose-driven path to educational and career achievement that goes beyond traditional classrooms.

Starr’s values are based on faith, inspiration, growth, and mentorship, with a commitment to empowering students to succeed. She leads organizations that supports students both in their community and around the world, helping them recognize their potential and confidently pursue their goals, including her fellow TSU Tigers.

Your donation to the I Am A Star Scholarship Fund is an investment in students who dare to dream, students who are committed to becoming leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps ensure that deserving out-of-state TSU students have the support they need to shine.
