Earvin “Magic” Johnson awarded scholarships to 33 college students at his annual Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program Brunch at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California.

Sponsored by Fed-Ex, the event capped off the Magic Johnson Foundation’s annual five day Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program Conference, which offers new and past scholars leadership training and career development workshops.

Founded in 1998, the Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program—named after the late Taylor Michaels, the former Chief Operating Officer for Magic Johnson Enterprises—assists socioeconomically challenged students with the completion of their undergraduate degrees and offers support in the form of laptops, mentorships, and internships.
