Designated Scholar Loans, 1981-2021


The Designated Scholar Loan Program was created by then Foundation President Nancy Kalishman in December, 1981. Of the program, she said “This kind of giving and caring, we hope, will engender giving and caring in the loan recipients themselves another day.” Every Designated Scholar Loan has a story, and DSLs were established by donors wishing to connect with students, honor special occasions, encourage specific fields of study, or remember or honor loved ones. DSLs were established by a variety of people, including current and former board members, former Foundation students, and members of the community.

Over its lifetime, the DSL program raised over $5 million, which are recycled through the loan program as borrowers repay and new students are awarded, providing future stability for the Foundation. The program ran for 40 years until December, 2021. During that time, almost 200 donors established 317 Designated Scholar Loans, which will be listed in perpetuity. Many were established by former students, proving that Mrs. Kalishman showed great foresight in hoping that the funds would engender giving and caring in those who were awarded from them.

For information on giving opportunities to honor or memorialize loved ones, connect to students, or increase impact through targeted giving, please see the Case for Support, or contact or contact Director of Advancement Jenny Weber at 314-932-6927 or jenny@sfstl.org.
