FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- On May 25, it will mark exactly one year since George Floyd was murdered and his family and their foundation are doing everything they can to honor his legacy.
The George Floyd Memorial Foundation presented Fayetteville State University with a $25,000 scholarship on the university campus Friday morning.
Bridgett Floyd, George's sister, and several other local family members were in attendance when Bridgett presented the check to Chancellor Darrell T. Allison.
"I believe in making change for those around you, near you, far away," Bridgett said. She tells ABC11 this scholarship will be a stepping stone for future students who are looking to be free of generational debt or baggage.
FSU senior Dabria Bullock, a criminal justice major, and Ahmahd Moore, a communications major, both say this scholarship will be significant for others out there like themselves.
"A lot of students come to college with scholarships and that's the only way they'd be able to attend college. I'm one of those students, so I think it means opportunity," Bullock said.
A sentiment shared by Moore, "We can go one step closer to being debt-free. I think that just means a lot."
"Generational stamps. We need to put things in place for our kids' kids," Bridgett said.

Well, Floyd is certainly an example of how not to be a scholar.
Minor in crack. Major in Fentanyl.
He was putting the fentanyl up the crack. George called it hooping.
Floyd was not murdered.
Floyd died resisting arrest. Fact is none of what he went through would have occurred if he would not have resisted arrest.
So does everyone now get a pass and just be able to fight cops whenever they want? Or ignore them?
I a not talking color of law abuse, I am talking about cops responding to calls, cops responding to crimes they see, drag racing, hostage situations, all legitimate incidents of dealing with cops.
Dirty money
I bet he could spell Fetanylville though.
I was going to say pretty much the same thing
Honor his legacy in criminality and drug use ?
yep
WOW! That’s 0.00061 percent of the money the family received from the city and go fund me payments.
Make sure the cash isn’t counterfeit.
25K over 27million settlement.. And a foundation to boot. The eye of a needle...
