The Magic Johnson Foundation has a longstanding history of providing college scholarships in partnership with several well-known programs. In 1998 the Foundation formed the Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program which has supported more than 300 deserving minority high school students with scholarships. The program further promotes academic excellence and professional development by providing mentorship, internships, computers and a leadership conference. Graduating scholars are fully prepared to enter the workforce or graduate school and have unlimited access to the resources and support network of the program.
