The George Foreman Tribute to Lyndon B. Johnson Scholarship was established because George Foreman, a boxing champion, Olympic gold medal winner and celebrated pitchman, was inspired by President Lyndon Johnson and by RTDNA Foundation founder Barney Oldfield. In his autobiography By George, Foreman credits LBJ's Job Corps for rescuing him "from the gutter." The recipient of the George Foreman Tribute to Lyndon B. Johnson Scholarship will receive a monetary award and an invitation to Washington, D.C. Applicants must be students pursuing careers in radio, television, or digital journalism.
