The Dinwiddie Family Foundation’s mission is to empower at-risk and disadvantaged youth through fitness, literacy, and educational programming. Dinwiddie Family Foundation is proud to cultivate the next generation of diverse leaders through the Dinwiddie Scholars program, in partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

Dinwiddie Scholars allows young people to focus on academics. With up to $20,000 in scholarships, renewable for up to four (4) years, Dinwiddie Scholars "levels the playing field" by supporting tuition and upfront, out-of-pocket expenses.
