    The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, a nonprofit organization founded in 1920, is based upon the conviction that an educated society is essential to a healthy democracy. The Scholarship Foundation provides access to postsecondary education to members of our community who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals.

    The Foundation sees higher education as a catalyst, an agent of change for individuals, families, communities, and nations. We envision a community that recognizes the importance of educational attainment and assures positive educational outcomes are accessible to all regardless of economic circumstance. In our community, doors will not be closed to those who lack financial resources, and postsecondary education will be available to all with the potential to succeed.

    To build this community, The Scholarship Foundation will:

    + Promote and provide financial support for postsecondary education;
    + Assure that students have the information necessary to make sound financial decisions;
    + Lead a collaborative network of community and educational partners aligned to support student preparation, transition, and persistence to degree completion.

    To those who share its vision, the Foundation offers opportunities to participate in its realization through financial and in-kind support and volunteerism. The Foundation contributes to enlightened public policy through advocacy for its vision of postsecondary educational opportunity without financial barriers.

    Hope Happens' mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with Neurological Disorders by inspiring collaborative research to find cures, providing HOPE to everyone afflicted with or connected to a Neurological Disease.

    Our focus is on a small family of neurological disorders, including ALS, Alzheimer's disease, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, traumatic spinal cord and brain injury and stroke. Our cutting-edge model of doing research rests on Chris Hobler's conviction that fundamental discoveries about one disorder can lead to treatments and cures for others.

    Hope Happens was founded in 2002 as ALS HOPE by Christopher Hobler and his family after he was diagnosed with ALS in 2001, the same disorder that took the life of his late grandfather, James A. Maritz, Sr., and his cousin, Christopher Rice, of Houston, Texas.
