The talk show host and comedian has committed to covering the college costs for eight incoming freshmen at his alma mater in Ohio.
Per Kent State University, the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation has worked with the college to provide scholarships of about $23,000 per student. The students are required to maintain a 2.5-grade point average for the scholarships to be renewed each semester.

The scholarships are in memory of Devin Moore, a Kent State student from Cleveland who died in 2017 while playing basketball at a university center.
Harvey hosts the game show "Family Feud" and previously starred in "The Steve Harvey Show."
