Your Gift Sends a Child to a School That Believes in Them.
Private school tuition for one of our students exceeds $20,000 a year. The Dan Devereaux Memorial Trust exists to close that gap for at-risk and minority kids across the St. Louis metro area who have the potential to succeed but face real socio-economic barriers to getting there.
A donation funds tuition, uniforms, and academic support that move a child steadily toward high school graduation, college, and a job that pays more than minimum wage.
Tuition Gap
Private school costs more than $20,000 a year per student, well beyond what many at-risk families can cover alone.
Chronic Truancy
Concentrated poverty and under-resourced schools put kids at real risk of falling behind and losing hope.
Path Forward
With the right support, students move on to post-secondary education or a job with a future.
