George Floyd's 6-year-old daughter offered full scholarship to Texas Southern University


 Texas Southern University has announced it would give a full scholarship to George Floyd's 6-year-old daughter, Gianna Floyd when she's college-age. 

TSU made the announcement on Tuesday night, the day George Floyd was laid to rest in his hometown of Houston. 

TSU said on the school’s Facebook page: 'The Board of Regents of Texas Southern University (TSU) honors the memory of George Floyd on the day that he is laid to eternal rest. Mr. Floyd was a lifelong citizen of the Third Ward and a revered graduate of Jack Yates High School.

'The Board, in conjunction with the TSU Foundation Board, has approved a fund to provide a full scholarship for Floyd’s beloved daughter, Gianna. TSU’s executive and academic staff will prepare a place for Miss Floyd if she wishes to attend the University.'
