Mission Statement
The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, a nonprofit organization founded in 1920, is based upon the conviction that an educated citizenry is essential to a democracy. The Scholarship Foundation provides access to post-secondary education to members of our community who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals.
Description
Since 1920 The Scholarship Foundation has loaned approximately $23 million to over 17,000 area students. Loan recipients are selected on the basis of financial need, satisfactory academic progress and good character. ScholarShop, an upscale resale shop, is a fundraising effort of The Scholarship Foundation. As a volunteer you are an intricate part of the operation. To our customers you are ScholarShop; to our students, your work is a source of funding; and, to the board you are a valuable asset. Your time and commitment will help students pursue their dreams.
