The
Ameren All In Scholarship is designed to award critical “last
dollar” funding to fill the gap between total cost of education and
the financial resources available to students from family, school,
state, and federal sources. The Ameren All In Scholarship will
foster educational attainment and financial strength for members of
the community often priced out of post-secondary opportunities.
“Education is among our key AmerenCares focus areas, and this new
partnership with The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis stands as
an example of that ongoing commitment," said Gwen Mizell, senior
vice president, chief sustainability, diversity & philanthropy
officer at Ameren. “Our Equity in Education initiative focuses on
funding and supporting efforts like scholarships to positively
impact the lives of young people and better secure their futures."

These scholarships will serve low-income students who
live within the service area of Ameren Missouri or Ameren Illinois
and who are enrolled at any grade level in a nonprofit, two- or
four-year accredited college or university in Missouri or Illinois.
Scholars will be selected based on Scholarship Foundation
eligibility requirements (significant financial need, academic
potential, and good character) and preference will be given to
scholars who are pursuing education in the STEM fields or in the
Joint Engineering Program offered by the University of Missouri-St.
Louis and Washington University in St. Louis.

Awards are renewable for up to 10
semesters per student. In addition to receiving major financial
support, Ameren All In Scholars will work with Scholarship
Foundation student advisors to complete applications and learn
about important resources and opportunities throughout their
educational journey.
Students funded through this program will qualify for paid policy
fellowships and quality mental health services through a Scholarship
Foundation initiative, which covers the cost of therapy provided by
licensed, vetted and culturally competent providers.
“The Ameren All In Scholarship Fund will provide critical financial
resources to scholars who have everything they need to attend
college except the money. This funding, combined with the support of
the student advisors at The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis,
will no doubt change lives for many in our community who deserve
access to an excellent postsecondary education, regardless of their
financial situation,” says The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis
Board President Lauren Nash Ming.
