About The Johnson Scholarship Foundation

Our mission is to help people prepare for and obtain a college degree.

Why Education?

We believe education is the best means to empower people to get better jobs, to become more independent and to participate more fully in our society.

Vision

We are working toward the day when all students have an opportunity to succeed in higher education and achieve a life of self-sufficiency, dignity, meaning and community contribution.

The Johnson Scholarship Foundation is intended to be a perpetual body, and it is our responsibility to improve it with each succeeding generation. We are privately endowed and do not solicit donations. Our capacity for productive work depends upon our investment returns. Oversight and management of the Foundation’s capital is therefore a vital part of our work. Please review the financial section of this website as it describes and illustrates our financial management, diverse asset allocation and investment process.
