The Lovett Scholarship is an award of $3,000 per academic year for up to four years of undergraduate course work at a four-year private or public accredited college or university. The Hayden, Butler, and Lovett Foundation, Inc. houses the Judge Willie J. Lovett, Jr. Scholarship Program (the “Lovett Scholarship Program”). The Lovett Scholarship Program has a twofold mission. The demand side provides scholarship funds for a deserving candidate toward his or her higher education costs (an award of $3,000 per academic year for up to four years of undergraduate course work at a four-year private or public U.S. accredited college or university). Equally important, the Lovett Scholarship Program looks to tackle some of the supply side issues for higher education—pipeline and readiness—by educating young people about access to higher education and impressing upon them the value of and ability to obtain a quality higher education.
