The Tom Joyner Foundation, established in 1998,mission is to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. All funds raised by and donated to the Foundation are used for scholarship support for students with financial need and to ensure the sustainability of the institutions.

In continuing with this illustrious legacy, Tom Joyner has raised the bar by creating the Tom Joyner Foundation Full Ride Scholarship. The Full Ride Scholarship will be given away to a high school senior that has been accepted into an HBCU by the fall semester of 2010. 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 ten semesters. The recipient will have to maintain the required academic standards each semester to renew the scholarship.

Information for the scholarship application should be completed and postmarked by January 23, 2010.
