The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation (TMJF) is proud to announce the inaugural recipients of the Malcolm Jenkins Visionary Impact Scholarship (MJVIS) at The Ohio State University (OSU): Ethan Dicken, a second-year Aviation major, Mitch Arthur, a second-year Accounting major, and Donte Beck-King, a second-year Computer Science and Engineering major. These outstanding scholars have exemplified academic excellence, a commitment to service, and a strong vision for positively impacting their communities.

The MJVIS Fund, established November 16, 2023, with gifts from The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation and matching funds as part of the Scarlet and Gray Advantage Endowed Matching Gift Program is a testament to TMJF and OSU’s commitment to empower and inspire students to be visionary leaders who drive impactful and transformative change within the OSU community, their personal communities and society at large. Through the MJVIS Fund, TMJF is not only offering financial support but also cultivating a generation of visionary leaders who will catalyze impactful change. 

We congratulate Ethan, Mitch and Donte on their well-deserved scholarships and look forward to seeing how they—and future recipients of this fund—will continue to shape a brighter, more equitable future for all. 

The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation remains steadfast in its mission to create a world where youth can thrive and succeed, and the Visionary Impact Scholarship is just one way we are turning this vision into a reality.
