The Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program is designed to provide support for deserving minority high school students who exemplify a strong potential for academic achievement but face social-economic conditions that hinder them from reaching their full potential. Since its inception in 1998, over 200 students have received financial assistance to attend the college/university of their choice. We have scholarship recipients attending Cornell, MIT, UC Berkeley, Morehouse, Azusa Pacific University, Clark-Atlanta University. Unlike most scholarship programs, the Magic Johnson Foundation/Taylor Michaels Scholarship Fund has made a commitment to assist the recipients through their entire undergraduate experience through several unique components including a mentoring program, internship program, and Life and Practical Skills classes.
