Since 1943, Staples Tuition Grants has helped graduates pay for college. The low-key but vital organization has awarded millions of dollars, and impacted thousands of lives. Every recipient has a story.
Now — as organizers prepare for next year’s 75th anniversary — they want to hear as many of them as they can.
So they’re asking:
- Where did you go to college?
- What did you study?
- How did the seed money help you?
- Where has your journey taken you — professionally and personally?
STG hopes to raise awareness of its mission — and its great success — since that first $100 award, back when FDR was in the White House.
