About
The Theodore R. and Vivian M. Johnson Grants are funded by the Johnson Scholarship Foundation, which was established to support students who have the ability and desire to pursue higher education but may not otherwise have the financial means to do so.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson believed that education is essential not only to individual success but also to the strength of the free enterprise system. Through their foundation, they sought to invest in students who demonstrate leadership potential, strong values, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities.
At Palm Beach Atlantic University, these grants play a significant role in supporting students with financial need, with approximately $1.2 million awarded each year to 400–500 returning undergraduate students.
