More than 50 graduates of the Community College of Philadelphia’s Octavius Catto Scholarship program are currently studying at Temple. The Catto Scholarship covers tuition at CCP for a two-year associate’s degree. The scholarship initiative is named after Octavius Catto, a Black educator and civil rights activist who fought for equal rights in schools and education for the African American community, particularly in Philadelphia.
