The Southern Education Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation created in 1937 from four different funds (the Peabody Education Fund, the John F Slater Fund, the Negro Rural School Fund, and the Virginia Randolph Fund)[1]. Their main goal is to promote quality education for traditionally disadvantaged students, including the poor and African-Americans. Lynn Walker Huntley is the current president[2].
