The Carson Scholars Fund, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Ben Carson, a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and former U.S. presidential candidate, and his wife Candy Carson. The organization was established in 1994 to recognize and reward academic excellence among students in grades 4-11. The main program of the Carson Scholars Fund is the Carson Scholars Program, which awards scholarships to students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement and a commitment to their communities. The program is open to students in all 50 states in the U.S., as well as the District of Columbia, and the Caribbean.
Each year, the Carson Scholars Program awards thousands of scholarships, ranging in value from $1,000 to $5,000, to deserving students. The funds can be used for educational expenses, such as tuition, books, and other educational supplies.
In addition to the Carson Scholars Program, the Carson Scholars Fund also supports other educational programs and initiatives aimed at promoting academic excellence and inspiring students to achieve their full potential.
