A St. Louis institution, Edward Jones is committed to having a positive community impact, especially regarding the potential of young people. The Edward Jones Girls Inc. Scholarship is a $12,000 renewable, annual grant for graduating high school seniors who have participated fully in the programming provided by Girls Inc. through each of their high school years.

This scholarship is funded by Edward Jones, Geraldine and Robert Virgil, and Penny Pennington and Mike Fidler. In the words of Robert Virgil, “Because of this scholarship, girls who otherwise would not have the opportunity, indeed who could not have imagined it possible, now will be able to go to college. Education is the surest path to a satisfying future.”

The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis is currently not accepting new applications for this scholarship.
