Together, Helping the Leaders of Tomorrow, Today
What began as a memorial to one philanthropic and devoted man has become a community asset— a family of individuals, corporations, private foundations, and community service organizations who share the belief that education is the key to a better life for the young people we serve.
Our Mission
The George Snow Scholarship Fund’s mission is to help hard working students in South Florida to graduate from college by providing financial aid and wrap-around support services. Our goal is to ensure that no student is deprived of an education because of a shortage of funds or a lack of support.
Learn More About UsOur Model
Providing scholarship funds is easy, dedicating ourselves to helping each student graduate from college is the focus and passion for our staff. Beyond receiving scholarships and financial aid, these students become part of The George Snow Scholarship Fund. They will receive our guidance and support well beyond freshman year, as they start the next phase of their lives. Everything we do is guided by the question “What would we do for our own sons and daughters?” We do what we do for these students with the support of our local communities, and we believe this is paid back with each student achieving their career goals and becoming productive citizens within the community.
Congratulations to our
