The Marcus A. Foster Educational Institute, founded by Oakland's first African American Superintendent of Schools, is the oldest education equity institute in the country, dedicated to achieving equity in education through continuous improvement and program design. With a mission to advance systemic change and education equity for all, the institute has distributed nearly $10 million in aid to support over 5,000 scholars, primarily first-generation college students.
As schools and families navigate the challenges posed by COVID-19 disruptions, the Marcus A. Foster Educational Institute remains at the forefront, providing support to educators, scholars, and their families. Committed to carrying Dr. Marcus Foster's legacy forward, the institute undertakes a comprehensive evaluation and reorganization as it commemorates 50 years of service.
