Ron Brown Scholarship Program

The Ron Brown Scholarship Program offers college scholarships to African-American high school seniors that excel academically, exhibit leadership potential, participate in community service activities and demonstrate financial need. The Ron Brown Scholarship Program awards ten to twenty students (each year) with a $40000 college scholarship (awarded in $10000 annual increments). Scholarship recipients may use the scholarship to attend any accredited four-year college or university within the United States, and are not limited to any specific field or academic discipline.
