About the St. Louis Scholarship Foundation: The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis offers student loans that are renewable, interest-free, and available in amounts every academic year. Students who get an interest-free loan will have a 12-month grace period after graduating and sending a final promissory note and an income-based payback schedule.
The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis recommends replacing the four state-sponsored scholarship programs with a single program that focuses scholarship awards on students in the state with the highest financial need. The report finds the four scholarship programs poorly designed and functionally inequitable, negatively affecting all students with financial need, especially those who are black or live in rural parts of the state.ScholarshipBoard
