BoardLinkStL is committed to connecting individuals who wish to serve on nonprofit boards and nonprofit agencies/organizations that need qualified board members. To assist in that effort, BoardLinkStL offers partial scholarships to those unable to afford our membership fees. We encourage you to apply.

Due to the limited number of scholarships, we may not be able to honor every request. Preference is given to individuals who would not otherwise have the financial means to participate or those experiencing unforeseen circumstances such as a family crisis, illness or significant change in income. Fledgling organizations with budgets under $50,000 are also given preference.

Please note that all scholarships are partial. We require some form of co-pay, however minor, from the individual or organization making the request. There are no deadlines for scholarship requests but letters must be submitted at least two weeks before you plan to attend a workshop.

To apply for a scholarship:
   1. Please submit a written letter requesting scholarship assistance.
   2. Your letter should indicate:
               a). Why you are interested in using our service
               b). What payment you or your organization can provide toward the membership fee
   3. Include all relevant contact information so we can follow up with questions or a request for additional 
       information, if needed.      
   4. Send your letter electronically to:
              boardlinkstl@stl.unitedway.org

       or by mail to:    BoardLinkStL Scholarship Committee
                               United Way of Greater St. Louis
                               910 N. 11th Street
                               St. Louis , MO 63101

You will be notified by phone regarding the status of your scholarship request.
