Our story

Melvin Johnson was a man whose life was a testament to tenacity, service, and an unwavering work ethic. His story is not just one of personal success as a financial advisor but also of profound community impact. Melvin believed in the power of giving back, serving tirelessly on boards of nonprofits like Meals on Wheels and the Ronald McDonald House, where he brought warmth and sustenance to those in need. His dedication to service was matched only by his commitment to excellence in his profession. Melvin’s days were long, but he never wavered in his resolve to provide the best advice and support to those who sought his expertise. He was a beacon of hard work and integrity, inspiring trust and respect in everyone he met. In honor of Melvin’s legacy, his family has established a scholarship fund to empower the next generation of BIPOC students aspiring to careers in business or finance. This fund is not just a tribute to Melvin’s memory; it’s a continuation of his life’s work—fostering opportunity, nurturing potential, and enriching the community he held dear. Your contribution to the Melvin Johnson Scholarship Fund will extend his impact far into the future, lighting the way for students who share his passion for finance and his heart for service. Let’s come together to honor Melvin’s extraordinary life by investing in the promise of tomorrow’s leaders. 🌱

Our goal

The purpose of this fund is to support BIPOC students who aspire to pursue careers in the fields of business or finance. By providing educational opportunities, our family aims to continue Melvin Johnson’s commitment to financial education and empowerment.

Remembering Melvin as the strong role model he was, especially for the two young men growing up in rural North Carolina (my brother and I). He always gave us attention and did exciting activities with us, for that I will never forget. We were always excited to learn he and Aunt Trina (wife) were coming over the summer to visit. Their offspring is clearly a testament to the kind of man he was.
