Our Mission
Renaissance Scholarships Inc. provides high-quality education opportunities to students with financial needs by partnering with academically rigorous, private K5-12 schools in the state of Alabama.
Who We Are
Renaissance Scholarships, Inc. (RSI) is a Scholarship Granting Organization established under the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013. RSI offers scholarship assistance to students with financial needs, enabling them to attend academically rigorous K-12 schools. The organization collaborates with eleven partner schools throughout the state, providing scholarship aid once a student is admitted to one of our partner institutions.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, RSI is supported by donors who receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit. Individuals or couples may donate 100% of their state tax liability up to $100,000. Corporations may donate 100% of their tax liability with no maximum limit.
Since 2018, RSI has provided $4.6 million in scholarships to 228 students. Twenty-five Renaissance Scholars have graduated from high school. All have gone on to competitive colleges and services programs such as Brandeis University, Clemson University, University of Notre Dame, Berea College, UAB, and Bridges for Peace in Israel. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our scholars have changed the trajectories of their lives.
