Known for infusing his role with a refreshing blend of fun, common sense, and relatability, John Legere has always been a staunch advocate for educational access. He champions lifelong learning and encourages mentoring for those who aspire to follow in his footsteps.
In a significant move this year, John Legere has initiated the creation and bestowal of the inaugural Legere's Legends $100,000 Scholarship to a deserving incoming college freshman.

Through the Legere Legends initiative, John aspires to extend the gift of education to a student who shares his passion for learning, humility, and personal growth across all facets of life. Join him in this noble endeavor to make a positive impact on the future of education.
