Scholarships

The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis Inc. awards scholarships to students from the St. Louis Metropolitan area to support their college education and career goals.

Currently the Agency offers two scholarship programs: the Leslie Scholarship and the UMB William Robinson Memorial Scholarship.

Scholarship recipients demonstrate a range of academic fields by majoring in subjects as diverse and challenging as mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering, biology, chemistry, business, accounting, law and pre-med. Last year, 23 deserving students were awarded scholarships.

Generous donations and gifts from individuals and organizations throughout the St. Louis community are used to fund these programs. Scholarship awardees are selected based on their academic achievement, community service, character, and financial need.
