Today in the world of global competitiveness, it takes
more than hard work to be successful. Higher Education
is the critical element for qualifying our youth to
achieve in the future. Deserving students, despite their
lack of financial ability, must be given an opportunity
to develop the knowledge and skills required to compete
in the 21st century.
Our scholarship fund has spent more than $2 million
dollars since its inception in 1985 to assure that gifted
young adults in our community are prepared to tackle
old problems and develop new solutions for addressing
them. The millions of dollars invested in their future
have been well spent. One hundred two (102) “Bill”
Clay scholarship students have finished college and
are now having a positive impact on our society. Presently,
twenty-one (21) “Bill” Clay scholars are matriculating
at fourteen (14) colleges and universities.
As we celebrate our 18th year of accomplishments, we
see our Clay scholars represented in the fields of medicine,
law, science, education, accounting, business, corporate
management, and other areas of productive life.
I invite you to join us in supporting this magnificent
effort.
Congressman William “Bill” L. Clay, Sr. (Retired)
Founder
