Summary: The Rosenwald fund, founded by Julius Rosenwald, aimed to fund Black students enrolling at Grinnell College. The first Rosenwald-funded student. Hosea Booker Campbell, came to campus in 1918. The program was short lived before the Fund Trustees deemed “the experiment of having colored students st Grinnell is not working out satisfactorily.”
