We Believe
No LMSD graduate should miss out on a higher education simply because they can’t afford one. We help students pursue their goals so that they may better themselves, our community and the world.

The number of need-based scholarships we’ve granted to LMSD high school graduates since our founding in 1964.
Our scholarship fund helps students whose financial need often goes unnoticed by the wider community. For instance, LMSD students who are eligible to receive free or reduced lunch are the very students who, without your support, might not get the chance to broaden their educational horizons. Please show your support and join our community of donors who’ve helped give over $4.7 million in student support since our founding.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
