Muhammad Ali, guided by his six core principles, can bring peoples from different cultures together like no other person. To carry Muhammad Ali’s legacy as global unifier, the Muhammad Ali Center will be sponsoring the Generation Ali Global Citizenship Scholarship Program.The program is administered by Scholarship Management Services, a division of Scholarship America.
