A college in Texas extended a full scholarship to the daughter of George Floyd, the black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis last month.

Gianna, Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter, can go to Texas Southern University, a historically black college, if she chooses, after the school’s board and foundation board jointly approved a fund to provide her a full scholarship.
