Katara Scholarship Foundation

Katara Scholarship Foundation The Katara Scholarship Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that provides scholarships for college students with learning disabilities.

Our mission is to provide college funding for students with learning disabilities who are residents of the state of Missouri. The Katara Scholarship Foundation is a new non-profit organization that was founded in 2013 by Tamara Walker and Keilah Evans. Katina Williams, daughter of Tamara and a college student at Barry University, has ADHD and dyslexia. She attends Barry University in order to take

advantage of a school program called Center for Advanced Learning which aids students with learning disabilities to become successful in college. Tamara and Keilah fought very hard to pay for Katina's College education through fundraising activities and there were many other parents faced with this same issue of providing funding for their children. As a result the Katara Scholarship Foundation was started. There are 11 top colleges/Universities in the United States that have programs for students with learning disabilities. Most of these schools are expensive, private schools making them unaffordable to the average person. The short term goal of the Katara Scholarship Foundation is to help at least ten students pay for college within the next 2 years. The long term goal is to create a program like Center for Advanced Learning in less expensive colleges. All major degrees are supported by the Katara Scholarship Foundation making it different from other scholarship foundations, such as Rise and Annie Ford, which only help high school seniors and the Buckley Moss Society, who provide scholarships for students that are already in college and majoring in Special Education. The Katara Scholarship Foundation also helps students that have recently graduated from high school and are already in college. The Katara Scholarship Foundation is in the process of getting 501(c)(3) status as a non-profit, charitable organization. WE are asking the St. Louis community to support our foundation by donation or sponsorship for a charity fundraiser. We believe everyone deserves an education no matter their disability.
