JRF Regional Scholar Advisory Committees

There are seven regional advisory committees from around the country that assist JRF in screening the initial qualified applications; selecting and interviewing semi-finalists; recommending candidates to be considered by JRF Headquarters as finalists; providing mentoring for Jackie Robinson Scholars; supporting JRF events; participating with local Scholars and alumni; and acting as ambassadors. These committees are comprised of academic, corporate, and civic leaders, many of whom are alumni.
