Want to start helping students
right away?

 If you would like to start helping students in need right away, or if you are interested in providing scholarship funding but aren’t ready to establish a named scholarship, contributing to our General Scholarship Fund is an easy way to fulfill your intentions. 

 

Simply click the “Donate Now” button above or mail your check directly to the Foundation and earmark your contribution to the SCF Foundation General Scholarship Fund. Any amount, large or small, makes a difference in the lives of SCF students!

There are multiple ways to fund a scholarship, including gifts of cash, appreciated securities, personal or real properties, bequests, trusts, life insurance policies or retirement funds. A Scholarship Agreement will be created between you and the Foundation, outlining your criteria for awarding the scholarship. The Foundation encourages you to keep the criteria as broad as possible. A sample agreement and an outline of suggested criteria are available for your review. Contact us today to begin our partnership in changing students’ lives!
