The Ellis Foundation - Educating Children, Our Investment in the Future



	The Ellis Foundation provides scholarships to high school seniors from low to medium income families in rural America, with an emphasis on single parent families. The scholarship pays up to $1,000 each semester directly to the student's designated college. We have awarded over $2,000,000 in scholarship contributions since 1997.
