Honoring the Past, Investing in the Future

The story of the Lincoln/William Grant Scholarship Foundation begins with a proud educational legacy and continues through the lives of students pursuing their own dreams today.

Lincoln-Grant School was more than a building. It was a place where generations of students received an education, developed lasting relationships, and prepared themselves to serve their families and communities. The determination and accomplishments of those students remain an important part of our shared history.

The Lincoln/William Grant Scholarship Foundation was established to preserve that legacy while turning it into opportunities for a new generation.

Continuing the Legacy Through Education

Each scholarship awarded represents more than financial assistance. It represents encouragement. It tells a student that someone recognizes their hard work, believes in their potential, and wants to help them move forward.

Our scholars are pursuing education in a variety of fields. They bring different experiences, goals, and challenges, but they share a determination to build better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Through the generosity of our members, donors, alumni, families, and community supporters, the Foundation helps reduce some of the financial pressures associated with higher education. Every contribution—regardless of its size—becomes part of a larger investment in a student’s future.

Remembering Where We Began

As the Foundation grows, we remain deeply connected to the people whose vision and sacrifices made this work possible.

We honor the Lincoln-Grant educators who inspired their students. We honor the alumni who carried the school’s values into their homes, professions, and communities. We also honor the original members of the Foundation who understood that preserving a legacy requires more than remembering the past—it requires building upon it.

Their vision continues every time a scholarship is awarded.

Writing the Next Chapter Together

The Foundation has made meaningful progress, but there is still more work to do. Our goal is to expand our reach, strengthen our scholarship programs, and provide greater assistance to deserving students.

That next chapter will be written by all of us: the donors who give, the members who serve, the families who share our mission, and the scholars who transform opportunity into achievement.

You do not have to be a Lincoln-Grant alumnus to become part of this work. Anyone who believes in education and the potential of young people is welcome to support the mission.

Together, we can honor those who came before us while creating opportunities for those who will follow.

Help us continue the legacy. Make a contribution, become a member, share our story, or encourage an eligible student to apply for a scholarship.
