Meet the 2026 Robeson Scholars & Fellows!

We’re proud to introduce this year’s cohort - an extraordinary group of young leaders advancing change through advocacy, innovation, the arts, athletics, and civic engagement.

From California to Georgia, Tennessee to right here in New Jersey, they represent a powerful cross-section of talent, perspective, and purpose.

Grounded in the spirit of Paul Robeson’s New Idealism, this year’s Scholars and Fellows are already putting their values into action—expanding access to justice, uplifting underserved communities, advancing global citizenship, and using their voices to challenge inequity and inspire change.

With another highly competitive application cycle, these individuals stood out for their leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to building a more just and inclusive world.
