It offers scholarships, mentorship, and leadership development to help students succeed academically and professionally. Established in 1973, the Foundation also works to honor Robinson’s legacy of breaking racial barriers and fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion. Its goal is to empower motivated students, regardless of background, to achieve their full potential and become leaders in their communities and beyond.
