Hi,

Sorry I haven’t been back to this thread in awhile! DD had her interview on 5/17 at the Varick Street headquarters of The Jackie Robinson Foundation in NYC. There were other applicants there interviewing. Of Hispanic, middle eastern and African American descent.

She will find out their decision by mid June.

@planner03 what I have found is this, if they are requesting tax returns/financial info, then scholarships are need based.

I hope this helps.

As an aside, I read an article and heard an NPR story about a young man by the name of Leonard Galmon, feel free to Google him. He won one of the 26 Ron Brown Scholarships, which DD did not. So proud of him & happy to know that he won the scholarship! He is very deserving! He is headed to Yale & will be a classmate of my DD.
