"The Johnson Scholarship Foundation is a private Foundation with a mission to assist disadvantaged people to obtain education. It does not make individual grants. All scholarships and grants are made through selected institutions. The Foundation believes that education can empower disadvantaged people to improve their economic circumstances and quality of life. The Foundation operates a number of core programs, which were established by its founder, and supports the education of disabled, economically disadvantaged and American Indian students. The Foundation’s support of these causes is delivered through a variety of scholarships and grant programs, which are described in this site."

Dedicated to creating paths to brighter futures, The Johnson Scholarship Foundation has invested in possibilities for over twenty years. Through thoughtful planning and strategic partnerships, The Foundation has built a network of innovative funding programs and progressive relationships with some of the country’s most respected and important community programs, schools, colleges and universities. Through the vision of our founder, Theodore R. Johnson, the Foundation has quietly and confidently enabled the education of thousands of disabled, economically disadvantaged and American Indian Students.

With a mission of hope, encouragement and dedication, The Foundation believes that through education, all things are possible - careers are born, citizens become responsible and people become productive members of society.

Education creates opportunity for all.
