This scholarship is awarded from the St. Louis Community Foundation Multi-Opportunity application.

Curt Smith Sporting Goods Scholarship
The Curt Smith Sporting Goods Scholarship program will annually award renewable scholarships to an academically qualified high school senior from the St. Louis Metropolitan area who played high school sports.
Eligibility Applicants must:

• be a graduating high school senior.
• have played high school sports in the eligible geographic area ((Missouri counties of St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren, Franklin, Jefferson, and the City of St. Louis, and the Illinois counties of St. Clair, Madison, Bond, Calhoun, Clinton, Jersey, Monroe, and Macoupin).
• have a transcript that demonstrates a college preparatory academic record and potential for success.
• be planning to enroll full-time as an undergraduate at a nonprofit, accredited two or four-year college, university, trade, or technical school in the United States.
• demonstrate unmet financial need at the college or university the student will attend.

Selection for all scholarships awarded from this application
Recipients will be selected by the St. Louis Community Foundation based on the student’s commitment to, and academic preparation for, higher education; the student’s contributions to their community; the quality of the essay(s); determination of financial need; and consideration of unusual circumstances. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Please answer all questions that apply to you, even if they are not marked “required.”
Preference will be given to students who have not previously completed a Bachelor’s Degree.

Renewal
Recipients may reapply for award consideration for a maximum of four years of undergraduate funding, provided they continue to make satisfactory progress toward a degree and continue to meet the eligibility criteria. Please note that because the award amounts are based on available funding and financial need, which can change from year to year, the amount of this scholarship award may change if a recipient applies for renewal awards in years to come.

Notification
Applicants can view their status by logging in to their Scholarship Central account. Funds will be mailed to the recipients’ schools in August.
