Scholarship Fundraising

Piggy BankFrom the very early days of Fortnightly Club, there has been an interest in the education and welfare of Mizzou students. For many years it has been the custom of the club to raise money for scholarships. An endowment was established for that purpose and each year additional monies are added. We work with the Student Financial Aid Office to receive the names of candidates. Those selected are introduced at the club-wide Spring Luncheon.
