STLF Memorial Pay It Forward Scholarship
Students Today Leaders Forever (STLF) was a non-profit organization that engaged in and encouraged servant leadership.
STLF carried out its purpose by facilitating cross-country service trips, called "Pay it Forward Tours,” for students attending U.S. colleges and universities. The mission of the organization was to reveal leadership through service, relationships, and action as a result of these tours in order to truly give back.
This scholarship aims to support students who are leaders in their communities and who devote their time to helping others.
Any high school senior, undergraduate student, or trade school student who has volunteering experience, as both a volunteer and as an organizer or planner, may apply for this scholarship opportunity. The service must be truly voluntary (not mandatory such as Greek life philanthropy).
To apply, tell us about your volunteering experience and why you believe leadership through service is important. Additionally, upload an image showing your service to others or your participation in the community.
What volunteering event did you participate in or organize? How did you volunteer and give back to your community? Additionally, describe the importance of leadership through service.
