Actor, producer, and entrepreneur Marsai Martin is expanding her efforts to help young people build long-term financial security, as her nonprofit reaches a major milestone and launches a new scholarship initiative for college students, Afrotech reports.
Marsai’s Way Foundation empowers the youth
Martin’s Marsai’s Way Foundation has served more than 10,000 students through programs focused on education, mentorship, scholarships, and leadership development, according to the organization’s website. The nonprofit also announced the launch of the FICO Financial Empowerment Fellowship, a new program that will award ten college students $1,500 scholarships while equipping them with financial literacy and leadership skills.
The fellowship builds on a three-year partnership between Martin and Seeds of Fortune Inc., announced earlier in 2026, to provide financial education, wealth-building strategies, and career development resources to 10,000 young women.
Founded in honor of Martin’s late cousin, Marsai Chari Murray, the Marsai’s Way Foundation seeks to expand educational opportunities for underserved youth while encouraging the next generation of leaders. Martin, who was named after her cousin, said the organization reflects a legacy of creating opportunities for others.
“If a way was made for me, then I have a responsibility to make one for someone else,” Martin wrote in an Instagram post announcing the foundation’s milestone.
The foundation’s work centers on four key pillars: scholarships, health and wellness, leadership development, and financial literacy. Its programs are supported by 36 partners worldwide.
