The Scholarship Fund

Helping local students reach the Ivies

The Ivy League Scholarship Fund gives grants to Ivy League students from the Sarasota and Manatee area who need a hand with the costs that financial aid does not cover. Donors of $1,000 or more join our 1957 Society and are honored in the annual printed directory.

Deadline: Applications for the 2026-27 academic year close September 15, 2026.

The 1957 Society

Named for our founding year, the 1957 Society recognizes members and friends who give $1,000 or more in a program year. Society members are honored on the club's published honor roll and at the Holiday Luncheon.

The scholarship fund has supported local Ivy students for decades. It is the heart of what we do together.
