Get to Know Us
The South Baldwin Education Foundation, Inc. (SBEF) was formed to be South Baldwin County’s vehicle to improve advanced education opportunities for graduates of the area’s public high schools. In 1987, a committee of members of the Foley Optimist Club set in motion a dream to grow an organization that would make college scholarships for local students a priority for the community, and make it much easier to accomplish this goal. Foley Optimist Club became the first scholarship sponsor and was soon joined by other community businesses, civic organizations, and foundations as sponsors. Over the years, scholarship sponsors have grown to more than 50 sponsors including a number of memorial and honorary sponsors. Eligibility has been expanded to cover Foley, Elberta, Robertsdale, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach High School Seniors, and Snook Christian Academy.
