"A Global Day of Giving"
"GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end of year giving. Giving Tuesday was founded as a simple idea: to bring people together for a day of giving back. It has since spread like a wave across the world, with over 160 countries in 2018. Now in its 8th year, nearly every country on earth is participating in Giving Tuesday." (excerpted from givingtuesday.org)
This year, our goal is to raise $18,000. This will help us fund the first full year of scholarships for our next class of Southern Scholars.

National ScholarshipMonth
#NSM is a national movement to raise awareness of the power of scholarships and the impact they have not only on individual scholars, but on our global community as a whole. Stewarded and sponsored by the National Scholarship Providers Association (NSPA), this year’s focus is:
Making an Impact! Supporting & Connecting Students through Scholarships
By taking some of the financial pressure off students and families, we can enable greater success in college, helping deserving students who want to graduate with their degree and give back to society.
Southern Scholars is committed to making even more of an impact in 2020 by providing academic scholarships and college completion support to four deserving scholars from the rural South. Help us reach this goal by giving your #NSM donation today!
