Who We Are

The Ruben Holloway Scholarship Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a helping hand to students working hard in our community as they pursue their educational and career goals. Established in 1998, we are committed to uplifting youth in metropolitan Cleveland, Ohio by helping to provide access to higher-level education. The foundation provides scholarships to Cleveland-area high school graduates who plan to continue their education at a two- or four-year college, university, or trade school.

Celebrating 25 Years of Impact

For the past 25 years, the Ruben Holloway Scholarship Foundation has granted scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are embarking on their journey toward undergraduate degrees or certifications from technical schools. We take great pride in contributing to the development of the future leaders of our generation.

  • Faith

    Faith is believing there is hope, even when there is no certainty. Therefore, faith is the backbone of The Ruben Holloway Scholarship Foundation. It is our duty to pass that belief on to the community and the next generation.

  • Education

    Education is the key to long-term success in the community. Preparing students with the proper foundational skills, knowledge and training allow them to grow and develop into our future leaders.

  • Career

    Our community is only as successful as its individual members. Our assistance with career preparation will help the next generation contribute to the greater good of society.

  • #MambaMentality
    ”To be on a constant quest to try to be the best version of yourself. That's what the mentality is. It's not a finite thing. It's a quest to be better today than you were yesterday and better tomorrow than you were the day before.”

    Kobe Bryant

  • “You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage. Instead, it's important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.”

    Michelle Obama

  • “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

    Jeremiah 29:11
