Oprah Winfrey's Educational Scholarships Support Hundreds in US and South AfricaPreviousNext

Oprah Winfrey has made significant contributions to education through two major initiatives. In 1989, she established the Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program at Morehouse College, a historically Black men's college, donating a total of $25 million to support nearly 600 students over 30 years. In 2002, she pledged to build the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, which opened in 2007 and has graduated over 1,000 students, with about 90% pursuing higher education. Both programs emphasize empowering underserved youth through education.
