The William L. Clay Scholarship and Research Fund was
founded in 1985 to address a profound problem for scores
of talented high school students lacking the financial
resources to pursue a college education and reach their
goals. With support of the Fund and donors like you, we
have helped remedy this problem for nearly 200 young
people.
We know that the challenge is very real. The cost of
educating our Scholars over the years has exceeded $5.6
million, but we remain dedicated to providing deserving
students with full or partial grants to cover their
college costs. With the rising cost of higher education,
your donations are more important than ever in helping
us to continue this important work.
Your contribution is more than a gift for our
Scholars - it's an investment in the future. Clay
Scholars have attended more than 50 of the nation's top
colleges and Universities, earning degrees in a wide
variety of disciplines. Alumni of the program have
excelled in a myriad of career fields including corporate
management, medicine, law, education, politics and many
others. What's more, about two-thirds of our Scholars
are located in the Greater St. Louis Area, creating a
direct impact in our community.
I'm inviting you to join in our success as we enter
or 25th year of helping students reach their dreams. We
maintain a low operating cost so that the maximum amount
of donations are applied directly to funding education.
The Fund is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, and no
contribution is too small or too large.
