"Mr. Floyd was a lifelong citizen of the Third Ward and a revered graduate of Jack Yates High School."

"The Board, in conjunction with the TSU Foundation Board, has approved a fund to provide a full scholarship for Floyd's beloved daughter, Gianna."

The announcement came from the Board of Regents and the TSU Foundation, an independent nonprofit supporting fundraising and development efforts.

The historically black college and university will ensure a spot for Gianna should she wish to attend TSU.

Albert H. Myres, chair of the Board of Regents, said in a statement:

"This Board is committed to education and understands that a college degree is one of many powerful steps toward a productive and successful life."

"We know that this gesture cannot take the place of her dad's loving presence, but we hope that it will contribute to easing her journey through life."

TSU Foundation Chairman Gerald Smith said the foundation 'is proud to provide this privately-funded scholarship.'

He added:

"We know the value of an education in the pursuit of solutions and generational progress. We look forward to embracing her into the TSU family."

"That I miss him."

She also told GMA that she aspires to be 'a doctor' when she gets older.

"So I can help people."

"Daddy changed the world."

Floyd was born in North Carolina. He grew up in Houston, where he graduated from Jack Yates High School in the shadow of TSU.

Floyd later moved to Minneapolis, where he died on May 25 when an ex-officer knelt on his neck. After his funeral in Houston, where TSU is located, he was buried in Pearland, Texas.
