Brown Foundation Academic Scholarships

The first Brown Foundation scholarship was awarded in 1989 in an effort to cultivate minority educators. The Foundation's goal in providing financial assistance to minority education majors is to create a future in which all students see a view of the world that includes them and to provide role models that are so important to identity formation.
