Theodore R. and Vivian M. Johnson Grants
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson believed that education is essential to the individual and to the strength of the free enterprise system, which they valued highly. The Foundation they established provides scholarship grants to qualified students at Palm Beach Atlantic College who wish to pursue their academic goals through higher education but cannot otherwise afford to do so.
By supporting education, the Foundation seeks to promote free enterprise and foster the values of leadership, high ideals, and social responsibility that develop as a result of the student's hard work and personal effort.
Applicants must be qualified high school graduates who demonstrate need, with emphasis being placed on students from middle income families.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson also established other scholarships, the John A. and Gullinear Johnson Scholarship and the Charles S. and Leonetta R. Macleod Scholarship, in memory of their parents.
