Kent State University said in a release that The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation has worked with Kent State University to provide scholarships of about $23,000 per student. The students must maintain a 2.5 grade point average for the scholarships to be renewed each semester.
The scholarships are in memory of Devin Moore, a Kent State student from Cleveland who died in 2017 while playing basketball at a university center.
Harvey hosts the game show “Family Feud” and previously starred in “The Steve Harvey Show.”
The university says the foundation also committed $10,000 to Kent State’s Men Empowerment Network.
