Description

The Oliver L. Johnson and William A. Lester Families Fund of the Pittsburgh Foundation was created to provide educational opportunities for deserving students with financial need, with a preference for students who have been disproportionately affected by systemic barriers to educational achievement, who are committed to pursuing formal education beyond the twelfth grade in high school. The donors, themselves African-American, seek to encourage and support students who have already displayed academic ability and leadership skills and who recognize that a solid educational foundation is a necessary prerequisite to making a positive contribution to society. This award is renewable three times or until a bachelor's degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Pittsburgh Foundation for more information.
