The Society of Seniors Foundation Scholarships are awarded to sons or daughters of our host club employees. Each year the Foundation identifies clubs that have or are planning to host an event. The Foundation is a wonderful way to give back to those clubs that host and support our events.

A Foundation scholarship is based on financial need of the student attending an accreted institution of higher learning. The award is for one year but renewable annually if the student’s grade performance is met. These scholarships help make college more affordable for those with financial need.

A college education can change the trajectory of a life.  We receive the majority of contributions at year-end.  As you plan your annual year-end gifts, please remember the work of the Society of Seniors Foundation.

There are many giving options for you to consider:
