The Rosa L. Parks Scholarship Foundation, a non-profit organization, has dedicated itself to helping students, who hold close to the ideals of Mrs. Parks, achieve their goals and overcome adversity through the support of higher education. Since it was founded by The Detroit News and Detroit Public Schools in 1980, The Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation has awarded over $1,500,000 in scholarship money to more than 750 high school seniors. Recipients of the $2,000, non-renewable scholarship are chosen for their outstanding academic achievement, community service, leadership, and commitment to the principles embraced by Rosa Parks and the civil rights movement.
