The Rales Foundation has committed to support up to 125 SA Rales Scholars over the next five years.

Established in 1996 in memory of the first African American U.S. Secretary of Commerce, the Ron Brown Scholar Program brings 27 years of experience in college access and persistence and professional mentorship, as evidenced by a 99% graduation rate for its more than 5,300 scholars from the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities.
