Who We Serve

Meeting The Demand Of Under-Resourced Families

CSFP scholarships aim to directly address the striking educational disparities and inequities too often experienced by inner-city children.

Philadelphia has the highest poverty rate among the nation’s 10 largest cities. In the City of Philadelphia, only 75% of School District students graduate on time and fewer than half of those students enroll in college.

As a parent, you always want to do your best when deciding on the best education experiences. I felt hopeless before but now I am determined to continue providing the best educational experience, that I know my daughter deserves. Thank you.
