Colin L.Powell Former United States Secretary of State
I established the Maude and Luther Powell America's Promise scholarship fund to honor my parents. I could think of no better way to do that than to help another generation of immigrant kids get an education at CCNY, just as I did 50 years ago. I recently visited the "Colin Powell Center for Policy Studies" at CCNY and met some of our current students. They were from all over the world and were determined to make the best of the opportunity they received from CCNY. Now that I am out of government, I look forward to working with the Powell Center to reach even more youngsters anxious to serve humankind.
