A Community to Educate

Our scholarship recipients hail from our backyard. They are anything but provincial.

Not unlike their antebellum antecedents, our Southern students travel broadly, think deeply and are profoundly engaged with the issues of their time. They attend some of the finest colleges and universities in the world. They are the recipients of philanthropy and, in turn and in time, the thoughtful practitioners thereof. Don’t believe us? Flip to the inside pages of the Legacy and listen to the breathless voices of a generation of young Southerners reporting from campuses across the country and international points unknown.
