The smallest action can mean the biggest change
Scholarship America connects generous donors with remarkable students, leveraging over 60 years of expertise to design impactful scholarship programs. We are the nation’s largest nonprofit provider of private scholarships, and with more than $300 million distributed to 100,000 students every year, you can trust us to ensure your contributions reach the right students at the right time.
Here’s how you’ll change students’ lives
When a student lacks direction or funding, it can make them feel small in the large world of education. By giving students the resources they need, we’re giving them more control of their situation, their goals, and their entire future.
Your gift, sent either online or by mail, allows Scholarship America to eliminate barriers to educational success so any student can pursue their dream.
Support scholarships you believe in
Parents and students bear an unreasonable burden when it comes to university expenses. Now, the average amount of financial aid has not kept pace with rising college costs, which means families are feeling the strain more than ever. 80% of families take advantage of much-needed scholarships and grants to provide young people with the opportunity to earn more long-term with a college degree.
Honoring a legacy and changing a student’s future
A memorial fund is a beautiful way to pay tribute to someone who made a lasting and significant impact on your life. Our experts are well-versed in creating scholarship programs that carry legacies forward for future generations of worthy students.
Give to those who urgently need your support
A third of all college students are financially vulnerable. Sometimes, as little as $500 can cover an emergency expense and mean the difference between staying the course or dropping out. Emergency grants, funded by generous donors like you, connect students to the funds they need to alleviate unexpected burdens and stress.
DAF giving that helps students go further
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) offer a powerful way to support students and create lasting impact through scholarships. By partnering with Scholarship America, you can design new programs or expand on existing ones, aligning your giving with your philanthropic goals. Your DAF grants can also improve support for students by providing resources like emergency aid and mental health support at critical points—ensuring students thrive beyond the classroom.
Double the impact of your gift
Employer donation matching can make your generosity that much more powerful. To find out if your employer offers a matching gift program, search their policy or ask your HR department. Simply fill out the matching gift form and send it to us — we’ll handle the rest. For online donations, follow the prompts to maximize your contribution.
Create a lasting legacy
With planned and estate giving, your passion for education will live on, providing lasting support for students. You and your family can also benefit from immediate or deferred tax advantages. We work with you to ensure your priorities are honored and your legacy leaves an impact for years to come.
Give the gift of opportunity
No matter what you’re passionate about, Scholarship America offers giving options that work for you.
