Mission Statement
The mission of the Buck Foundation is to support education in all of its aspects. We achieve this through the Frank H. Buck Scholarship program which provides full scholarship support to students chosen from the six counties that were the congressional district served by Frank H. Buck in the 72nd through 76th United States Congresses (1932-42). We also provide grant support to educational institutions, libraries and other nonprofit organizations in support of our educational goals.

Essence of the Buck Foundation
Since its founding in 1990, the Buck Foundation has provided full scholarship support to more than 259 students from its geographic area. These students have attended colleges and universities throughout the United States, as well as international educational institutions. They have studied a broad range of fields — the arts, sciences, liberal arts, economics, government, law, medicine, management — and are now making a positive contribution to society and their communities. In addition to scholarships, the Foundation awards grants to support education in all of its aspects, seeking areas in which its resources can make a difference in providing quality educational experiences to a wide range of people.
