The 11 1/2 St Foundation is an educational foundation that supports scholarships for socio-economically disadvantaged students who are usually first generation college students. The scholarship recipients were initially Ruth Kravetz's calculus students at either Davis (now Northside HS) or Reagan High School but has expanded to include other students who meet the criteria. The foundation also sometimes provides small grants to improve equity and access in public schools serving socio-economically disadvantatged students of color .
