Johnson Scholar Program

Advanced Theoretical Mathematics for Navy Midshipmen

The Johnson family has established the Johnson Scholars Fund at the United States Naval Academy in honor of MIDN John Monroe Johnson (1998–2020) to motivate midshipmen to follow in Johnson’s footsteps by conducting advanced mathematical research. The program is available to rising 1/C and 2/C midshipmen. The selected midshipmen will be known as Johnson Scholars and are awarded with funds to support their planned research activities. Up to two Johnson Scholars will be awarded each year.
