Who We Are

The Clementine Mathis Rouse Scholarship Fund (The Fund) was established in November 1994 in honor of and as a tribute to Clementine Mathis Rouse. We believe that everyone should be given an opportunity to further their education. It is our mission to assist students financially to attain their educational goals, school curricula, and reward excellence in teaching.

Goals

Education

Educate the community on the need for providing financial assistance to students.

Promote community support for educators in the Little Rock School District.

Direct Services

Award scholarships to students in the Little Rock School District, the North Little Rock School District, and the Pulaski County School District.

Provide funds to supplement educational programs.
Recognize the contribution of teachers in the Little Rock School District.

Administration/Fund Raising

Provide the response necessary to sustain our efforts.

Responsibly manage the allocation of resources and the coordination of the activities of the Fund.

The Fund currenly has 11 volunteer members. Annual expenses are 3 to 4% of funds raised and are primarily for paper supplies.

Both the scholarship and teacher awards are made at the annual awards banquet held on the third Saturday of March each year. Funds are distributed to the teacher upon receipt of a letter describing the educational program for which the money will be used. The student scholarship is distributed between August and September at the student's request.

The Fund is always looking for volunteers to assist in its efforts to service the youth of our community who wish to continue their education. Any resident of Little Rock, North Little Rock, or Pulaski County 18 years or older may work with us. We are most appreciative of your interest in the Clementine Mathis Rouse Scholarship Fund.
