The William L. Clay Scholarship Research Fund (WLCSRF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1983, dedicated to providing educational opportunities for students in St. Louis and other communities in the 1st Congressional District of Missouri who lack the financial resources to pursue higher education. They offer four-year scholarships for full-time study towards a bachelor's degree, with a special STEM award available for students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, math, or teaching STEM subjects.
With a focus on eliminating the need for student loans, WLCSRF aims to bridge the gap between higher education costs and other financial aid received, ensuring that students can achieve their academic goals without the burden of debt. In addition to scholarships, they also run the WLCSRF Youth Leadership Development program, launched in 2023, which aims to help young individuals plan for a successful future and contribute to the transformational change of St. Louis, making it a first-choice city for all.
