The Ron Brown Scholars Program - named for the late Secretary of Commerce and inspired by his dedication to public service - focuses on encouraging civic engagement among Scholars while promoting academic excellence, community, and lifelong interactions.

The Program provides young African Americans of outstanding promise academic scholarships of up to $40,000 ($10,000 per year for 4 years toward educational expenses) that may be used at the college or university of their choice. Acceptance into the Program means Scholars are also provided with the nurturing and mentorship to succeed and flourish in college and beyond.
