The Lincoln Institute, or the Lincoln Ridge Kentucky Historical High School Institution for African Americans, was a school in Simpsonville, Kentucky, that operated from 1912-1966. Its alum created and administered the predecessor to this scholarship, enabling scores of young people to pursue higher education before ultimately establishing this Scholarship Fund with the Community Foundation of Louisville. Please be aware that this Fund is not connected with or controlled by Lincoln Foundation.
