Scholarship Foundation Development Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the local community, when properly organized and 
        challenged, is one of the best sources of academic support, 
        motivation toward achievement, and financial resources for 
        aspiring college students;
            (2) local communities, working to complement or augment 
        services currently being offered by area schools and colleges, 
        can raise the educational expectations and increase the rate of 
        college attendance of their youth by forming locally based 
        organizations that provide both academic support (including 
        guidance, counseling, mentoring, tutoring, encouragement, and 
        recognition) and tangible, locally raised, effectively 
        targeted, publicly recognized financial assistance;
            (3) proven methods of stimulating these community efforts 
        can be promoted through Federal support for the establishment 
        of area program centers to organize and challenge community 
        efforts to develop educational incentives and support for local 
        students; and
            (4) using Federal funds to leverage private contributions 
        to help students attain educational and career goals is an 
        efficient and effective investment of scarce taxpayer-provided 
        resources.
