For 42 years, the Jackie Robinson Foundation has continued Robinsons commitment to equal opportunity.
The Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) Scholarship program is designed to address the financial needs of college students and provide comprehensive mentoring services through its 42 Strategies for Success Curriculum.

JRFs four-year curriculum enables students to effectively navigate the college environment, explore career options, develop leadership skills, and embrace a commitment to service.
