The Kenneth M Seymour Jr
The organization is a private foundation focused on providing scholarships to students attending various universities and colleges. Its mission centers on supporting educational opportunities, particularly for youth pursuing higher education. The foundation primarily serves students through grants aimed at covering tuition and related expenses for institutions such as the University of Connecticut and the University of South Carolina. While it operates mainly in Connecticut, it also supports students in other states, reflecting a broader commitment to educational access across multiple regions.

Ideal Applicant
Colleges, universities or individual scholarship nominees that can be nominated or already have a relationship with the foundation’s trustees or intermediary nominators, especially institutions that accept scholarship payments.
Good Fit
- • Requests are for student scholarships or scholarship disbursements to an institutional payee.
- • The applicant is a university, college, or documented individual student already known to the foundation or its nominators.
- • The applicant is located in one of the small set of states the funder has recently supported or has ties to the foundation’s trustees.
- • The organization can be nominated or introduced by a trustee, bank contact, or recurring intermediary.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to recipients in four states rather than a single city or county; the foundation is Connecticut-based but most dollars (78%) went out of state, so the footprint is multi-state but not broadly national.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 20 distinct recipients (largely individual scholarship payments and institutional payees), showing a broad set of recipients for a micro private foundation even though dollars are concentrated among the top five grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of many new recipients exists (16 new recipients in the latest year) but the foundation’s stated process indicates awards are by preselection/nomination and there is no public application route or contact information, so an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to gain access without a nomination or relationship.
