Nearly a decade ago, Carl W. Turnipseed, ’69, and his wife, Joyce Hill Turnipseed, ’70, established the Alice and Willis Turnipseed Scholarship Endowment Fund in honor of Carl’s parents, to provide scholarships to Morgan for students from their native East Baltimore. The scholarship fund targets students who are “diamonds in the rough like I was,” says Carl, “and who have qualified financial needs.”
