Our Mission

The mission of the Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia is to provide educational alternatives to low-income Philadelphia families. We believe that families provided with a choice will seek the best quality education for their children. With more than 4,500 children having received CSFP scholarships, we are the largest provider of K through 8th grade scholarships in Pennsylvania. CSFP awards are offered for a minimum of four years per student. The scholarships are need-based and awarded by lottery. The demand from families for educational alternatives is evidenced by the more than 75,000 qualified applications we have received. With over 205 local schools participating in our program, we are the broadest based scholarship fund, with the most diverse student population. We will continue to offer new scholarships annually as funding allows.
