About This Cause
The 11 1/2 St Foundation is an educational foundation that supports scholarships for socio-economically disadvantaged students. We have awarded 199 scholarships totaling $141,400 since incorporating as a 501c3 non-profit in 2001. HISTORY OF THE 11 1/2 ST FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP In 1998, while a teacher at Davis High School, Ruth Kravetz began giving small scholarships to students in her calculus classes with money collected from friends and family. In 2001, the 11 ½ Street Foundation, a 501c3 public foundation, was formed to formalize the scholarship program and provide a one-time set of veteran teacher awards. The recipients are mostly Houston ISD Northside High School graduates with a small number from other local high schools. All of the recipients are either first-generation college students, undocumented, and/or of limited means. Like previous recipients, they will graduate from college to become teachers, business owners, activists, artists, scientists, lawyers, and medical professionals.
