ABOUT THE JACKIE ROBINSON SCHOLARSHIP
Each year, the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Award of $1000 is given to one graduate from each Envision school who exemplifies Jackie Robinson’s commitment to service and excellence. Mr. Robinson did more than break the color barrier in Major League Baseball: he was also the first in his family to graduate from college; he served his country in World War II; and he worked as a powerful civil rights advocate. To be awarded this scholarship, students must:
- Be first in their family to go to college;
- Deliver an outstanding graduation Portfolio and Defense;
- Exemplify a commitment to service and leadership;
- Plan on attending a 4-year college or university in the fall after graduation.
