The first Brown Foundation scholarship was awarded in 1989 in an effort to cultivate minority educators. This was predicated upon a report by the Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy which stated that, "Schools form children's opinions about the larger society and their own futures. The race, sex, and background of their teachers tell something about authority and power in contemporary America." The Foundation's goal in providing financial assistance to minority education majors is to create a future in which all students see a view of the world that includes them and to provide role models that are so important to identity formation.
