Education is a powerful tool for transformation—and in the field of criminal justice, it holds the potential to improve not only individual lives but entire communities. At RobertStewartJrgrant.com, we believe in the future of students committed to fairness, ethical leadership, and positive reform in one of society’s most impactful professions.
Founded by Robert S. Stewart Jr., a longtime advocate for justice reform and educational equity, this grant was established to help aspiring changemakers access the resources they need to succeed. His guiding belief is simple: when we invest in today’s students, we strengthen tomorrow’s justice system.
A Grant with Purpose
The Robert S. Stewart Jr. Criminal Justice Grant provides a $1,000 annual award to high school seniors and college students pursuing degrees in criminal justice or related areas. Whether recipients aim to serve as law enforcement officers, forensic specialists, legal advocates, or policy reformers, each applicant is evaluated for both academic excellence and a demonstrated commitment to ethical service and community improvement.
“This grant was created to support students who believe, as I do, that justice must be fair, accountable, and accessible to everyone,” says Robert S. Stewart Jr., CEO of CR Equity.Ai and a civic leader from Alexandria, VA. “It’s my way of giving back—and helping others move forward through education.”
