Adopt-A-Scholar Program

 

Education Changes Lives

 

With the cost of education increasing at an alarming rate, students are often discouraged from attending college immediately after high school. They realize the daunting expense associated with the pursuit – amassing large amounts of debt and possibly deferring graduation by several years.

To augment the much-needed funding, the Foundation introduced its Adopt-A-Scholar Program in 1989. This initiative invites local foundations, businesses, or individuals to sponsor Simon Estes Scholar(s) during their four-year undergraduate experience. Sponsors have reported a variety of reciprocal benefits resulting from this unique mentoring arrangement.

“The Simon Estes Foundation has proven to be a wise investment. Simply put, The Simon Estes Foundation finds those extraordinary high school students who dream to go to college and Williams helps them get there – all in the hopes of building a better society.”

Former President, Williams Foundation
