Tyrone Parker ’17 Celebrates 10 Years of Impact Through the TAP FoundationA decade ago, Tyrone A. Parker II ’17 set out to remove the financial barriers that once stood in his way as a student. Today, his vision has grown into a powerful force for educational access: the TAP Foundation, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in July 2026. This year, the foundation awarded scholarships to nine students, continuing its commitment to helping young people pursue their academic goals. “Being able to support students from single-parent households and help them pursue their dreams has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” he added.
