Keep Going Scholarship The Keep Going Scholarship in Honor of Travis Nagdy was established by Cities United, incubating partner of Russell: A Place of Promise, and Youth Resistance Collective LC, a Kentucky limited liability nonprofit company, utilizing a grant from the Public Welfare Fund, a component fund of the Foundation, to honor the life of Travis Nagdy, a 21 year-old social justice leader in Louisville who lost his life in late 2020. Travis was beloved by the community. His optimism and motivational activism, highlighted in his signature motto "Keep Going!" was vital to the social justice uprisings in Louisville and across the country in 2020. This scholarship recognizes his fight for justice and the continued pursuit of justice by Louisville youth. Specifically, this Fund is designed to provide scholarship assistance in the form of grants to help defray college or university expenses of black students from West Louisville, Kentucky.
