This brother is doing so much good that this site is starting to look like the Robert Smith fan site. But that’s ok, because if he keep’s it up we are to report it.
Black billionaire and philanthropist Robert Smith made national news with his pledge to pay the student loan debt of the graduating class of 2019 at Morehouse College. His actions were praised by the vast majority and reviled by those opposed to his wealth and his gift to the students at the HBCU. Now Smith is showing that his philanthropy is not a one time thing and has once again reached out to help students seeking a better life.
Smith has announced the creation of the Intern X program, a part of his Fund II Foundation. According to the Intern X website, the program will target “Rising sophomores with at least a 2.8 GPA from ethnically underrepresented groups.”
The program will provide paid internships to students at a host of top companies in the US. Among those companies pledging to support the program are AT&T, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Deloitte, Citi and Vista Equity Partners. The Intern X program will help to provide an eight-week paid summer internships in the fields of finance, marketing, software, not-for-profits, real estate, science, technology, engineering and mathematics to students who qualify.
There is no fee to sign up for the internship program and some companies may even provide housing and transportation assistance. Individuals who are interested should visit the InternX.org for more information on the program and how to sign up,
May God continues to bless him.
Black Excellence!

It would be wonderful if GOD would touch someone’s heart ❤️ to provide a Business Internship for us more seasoned individuals, who did not fine tuned until later in life. Kudos Mister may you continue to be a beacon of light in the fog.

Another Distinguished and Monumental Act of Kindness and Humanity!!??????

TO GOD BE THE GLORY, THANK YOU GENTLEMEN FOR YOUR OBEDIENCE!
???? ??‘S??????????❤️❤️❤️
They didn’t give us our 40 acres and mule, but we are and must continue to step up for ourselves!!????
Mr. Smith thank you for taking the time out of your extremely busy schedule to care for our children.
I have a question or two. We have two children. Our daughter just graduated with a BM and our son will graduate BA. We to could use your help in paying off their loans.
Respectfully,

Where are the others, Michael Jordan? Dr. Beats? Oprah?
Mr. Smith I Thank you for all the work you do. Especially looking out for student needs. I work for UNCF and know the struggles of making it thru and after college.
This is Black Excellence at its maximum levels. Praise God for all his philanthropic acts to assist those in need. May God continally bless you abundantly.
This is awesome. I’ve already shared it. Thanks for reporting it.
I am lost for words. This a wonderful idea that provides new opportunities to young people. God bless you and & others involved.
the man is truly making a difference.
Wow, I think this is an awesome proposal. My daughter is at an HBCU and she has landed in an intern position in Los Angeles with a Deputy District Attorney. I am struggling to help her with facilitating this process. I realize how difficult financing such a venture can be. On top of that she elected to go to summer school for personal reasons. I applaud her tenacity. Thank you sir in advance, for supporting these young folks, as this just reaffirmed to her where she has a potential to land.
God bless you in all your going and coming. Blessed to bless someone else. To God be the glory.
May the Lord truly bless Mr Smith we are so super grateful for your gift of love and compassion, i am a single mom school bus driver whose daughter just graduated from Howard school of law, on behalf of all of us I want to say an infinity thank you. I was a praying mom for God to miraculously send a person with the heart of God to pat off my daughter’s school loan, but for 369 men to get this opportunity it way beyond my limited prayer, so if anyone would like to bless us, I am still waiting for my daughter’s blessings of her tuition to marked pains in full, but until then I join with all the parents and celebrate greatness…mr Smith you are GREATNESS INDEED!!! GOD BLESS YOU SIR ALWAYS AND FOREVER !!!
Thank you sir.

AN AWESOME GENTLEMAN! God Bless Him.
This is Amazing, and I had not heard of him before his support to Morehouse students? in 2019.
His actions speak volumes and you can see clearly that he is a man who wants to be an inspiration to others and to make a positive difference by giving back to his school and the minority community.
The article has given me hope that, some of our Backs who have made it, really get it.
We must help one another, because the majority of our leaders really don’t care what happens to us.?????
Amen. It’s up to us and no one else.

My name isMargareth Douyon-Webb
I live in Chicago and am the home and School leader for a small inner city Christian School on the south side.
We want to provide a safe environment for the students in and around our neighborhood.
Many parents want to send their students to our school but can’t afford it.
I understand that you only offer scholarships to college students, but I am reaching out to you and see if you would consider investing in some of our high risk students who need this education in order to make it to the next level safely.
Thank you for your prompt consideration and thank you for all that you do.
May the Lord continue to bless you and your ministry.

How do I find out if my son would qualify for this scholarship. His dream is to work for NASA one day or to be an astrophysicist. I would do almost anything to see this dream come true. I just wonder how we could find out if he would qualify.
There’s a link in the article that you can click on to find out more details about the program. I’ll try to followup this article with another about more internships. As you know, this is super important for kids. Good luck with your future Astrophysicist!
So good it makes me cry
Robert Smith is living a “dream” that we should all consider, yet too many of us ignore. He is not using his success and wealth to “insulate” himself from his humble beginnings and now the world around him. Instead, he is out front building bridges and roads for those who might not have otherwise had a chance to reach the destination of their dreams. Carry on, brother! That is the true definition of the phrase, “Live well, often laugh, love much.”
Awesome! Simply Awesome!
Wow! Brother Robert C. Smith, you just ‘keep on giving’! God bless you. And, thank you.
