The Beulah A.G. Smith (BAGS) Scholarship Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1991 by friends and family of Beulah Smith to ensure perpetual support for the vision, dreams, love, and commitment she had to the education of young children in the Chicago Public Schools.  Mrs. Smith dedicated her life to educating children.  She received her Bachelor's degree from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, and a Master's degree in Special Education from Chicago State University.  Mrs. Smith spent more than 19 years in the Chicago Public School system trying to provide a quality education for all students, and especially for students with disabilities.

The Beulah A.G. Smith Scholarship Foundation was established to provide equipment and supplies to students in elementary and high schools, as well as for students who want to engage in higher education.  A major thrust of the foundation is known as the "Stairway to Higher Education Mentor Program" which teams competent, caring adults with aspiring young people.  These adults provide a one-on-one personal touch that is often missing in the lives of children who come from economically depressed urban areas.

Each year, the BAGS Foundation provides scholarships to elementary and high school students.  In our effort to help as many deserving students as possible, we are constantly looking for ways to increase our funding.  If you have a way to help us, please drop us a line.  We need you to help us, so that we can help them.
