The siblings of Ida Ballard Simon requests your support with our mission to keep Ida's love for and influence in academia and her love to reach students needing scholarships and financial assistance to attend college, we have collaborated to send  graduating senior(s) from City of Memphis, Tennessee public high schools to Ida's under-graduate college alma mater.

Funds contributed to this scholarship fund will enable graduating seniors from Memphis, Tennessee to attend Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri (Ida’s college alma mater). 

With support from Lincoln University Alumni, friends and colleagues of Ida Ballard Simon and Memphians (businesses and individuals), this fundraiser is an annual event that will enable student (s) from Memphis, Tennessee to obtain a higher education from a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).
