Club Scholarships
Finances are often the greatest barrier standing between our Club members and a college education. To underscore our commitment to fueling the academic success of our members in their pursuits of great futures, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South offers several annual scholarship opportunities to current Club members, Clubs alumni, and for members of our staff team. Applications are released in Fall and scholarship awards are presented each May at our Evening of Excellence.
Sullivan Tire & Auto Service Scholarships
Sullivan Tire & Auto Service Scholarships provide financial assistance to Club members, staff, and alumni in amounts ranging from $500-$5,000 in an effort to place higher education within reach for those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college. Funds are raised through the annual Sullivan Tire Holiday Parties for Kids.

Tom & Mary Shields Scholars Program
The Tom & Mary Shields Scholars Program is a college success program that awards one $10,000 college scholarship annually to one outstanding Club 8th grader.
