Scholarship Foundation

We believe in nurturing the potential of young women who aspire to make a difference in the world. The Ladies’ Literary Club of Ypsilanti has been granting scholarships to local women since 1929. The Scholarship Foundation was created in 2000 to administer scholarship donation distribution. Through our scholarships, we aim to provide the necessary support for their academic journeys and encourage them to pursue their dreams with confidence.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us to continue our mission of empowering the next generation. By donating to our scholarship fund, you are investing in the future of young women in our community. Together, we can create opportunities that inspire and uplift.
