Scholarship Programs
..............................................................................................................................

Established in 1994, the St. Louis Gateway Classic Sports Foundation has been committed to sending deserving youth to college by awarding scholarship funds to local community organizations. In 1997, the Foundation increased that commitment by establishing its own scholarship program.

The Gateway Classic Scholarship Program awards full, four-year scholarships to St. Louis youth through its General Scholarship Program. The scholarships are awarded based on interviews, an essay submission, financial need, and community involvement. The student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and carry 15 credit hours each semester. To date, more than 100 scholarships have been awarded.

The foundation has spent more than $486,000 for students to attend the University of Arkansas with 16 students graduating as of today. Other Universities include Tuskegee University, Hampton University, Howard University and Lincoln University.
