The Scarborough Community Scholarship Foundation is a locally operated and supported, non-profit, tax exempt scholarship foundation. Our basic mission is very simple - to encourage Scarborough students to pursue higher education. We believe one of the best ways to do that is to provide financial support to them.
We are a chapter of Scholarship America, the nation’s largest non-profit, private sector scholarship organization.
Rising costs are closing doors to higher education for many individuals in our community - at the very time our economy demands more highly skilled graduates.
Through SCSF, we have the opportunity to make a strong collective statement about the importance of education beyond high school.
The SCSF awards scholarships to graduating seniors residing in Scarborough. The funds are provided through dollars raised right here in Scarborough by people who believe in the importance of continuing education.
SCSF awards are open to any graduating senior residing in Scarborough who plans to pursue some form of post-secondary education.

You can help SCSF fulfill its mission in two ways:
Monetary donations to SCSF, in any amount, support our mission. We encourage you to give as generously as you can. Without the community’s support, this scholarship program could not exist. Our Board is an all volunteer organization, so every dollar contributed is applied directly to our scholarship fund. Your support does make a difference.
We invite you to join our board or any of our committees. Share any ideas you have for new approaches to encourage community participation in support of our mission. We really can make a difference!
