Organization Overview: The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, a nonprofit organization founded in 1920, is based upon the conviction that an educated society is essential to a healthy democracy. The Scholarship Foundation provides access to postsecondary education to members of our community who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals.

Internship Overview: In accordance with our 2024-2028 strategic plan, the foundation aims to strengthen financial education and capacity among awarded students. The Scholarship Foundation is seeking two Financial Education Coaching Interns to help design supplemental financial education curriculum in two key areas:

Interns will research gaps in financial education curriculum and create supplemental lessons and presentations tailored to The Scholarship Foundation’s target demographic and common barriers they face.
