Tom Joyner Foundation sets 'Full Ride Scholarship'

The Tom Joyner Foundation, established in 1998, supports Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. All funds donated to the Foundation have been used for scholarship aid to students of need and to ensure sustainability of the institutions.

In continuing with this illustrious legacy, Tom Joyner has raised the bar by creating the very first Tom Joyner Foundation Full Ride Scholarship. The Full Ride Scholarship will be given away to a high school senior that is planning to enroll in an HBCU in the fall of 2008. The scholarship will recognize academic distinction as well as strong character and personal qualities.

The recipient of the Full Ride Scholarship will receive full tuition waivers and stipends to cover room and board (on-campus only) and books for up to 10 semesters. The recipient will have to maintain the required academic standards each semester to renew the scholarship.
