Vikings legend Jim Marshall was a champion for young people. Now fellow Vikings legend Alan Page is honoring Marshall’s legacy through an expansion of coverage for scholarship recipients.
In the wake of Marshall’s death, the Page Education Foundation announced that those that receive the Page Grant can use it to cover the full cost of attendance starting this fall. Previously, the Page Grant only could be used to cover the cost of tuition.
In a release, Page noted how Marshall believed in lifting up others throughout his life, adding, “Expanding this grant is a way we continue to honor that belief and ensure the next generation can rise.”
The expansion specifically allows scholarship recipients to use the Page Grant for college expenses including housing, meals, transportation, books and childcare.
“In the face of shifting national conversations about equity in education, we’re choosing to stay grounded in our mission,” executive director Amanda Moua said in a release. “This expansion ensures our scholars receive support that truly meets the realities they face in college today.”
