How to Apply


MyScholarshipCentral.org is a hub for Missouri and Illinois students seeking financial aid from many different organizations. All of The Scholarship Foundation’s scholarship and interest-free loan applications are hosted on MyScholarshipCentral.

Steps to follow:

  1. Go to the MyScholarshipCentral application.
  2. Click “Sign Up” in the top right corner to create an account and a General Application that serves as a profile for all scholarships.
  3. Once the General Application is complete, a list of opportunities (scholarships and/or interest-free loans) that match the student’s qualifications will appear. For each opportunity, the student will need to complete additional questions and/or submit documentation separately.

The application cycle begins January 1 and typically ends April 15. If April 15 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the application deadline is the first business day after the 15th. Applicants who apply are eligible for funding during both fall and spring semesters of the following school year. Awards are issued during the summer.
