Q: What is the name(s) of your child(ren), grade(s), and school of your child(ren)?
A: Anthony DeVoue, 5th grader at Saint Frances Cabrini.

Q: What are your hopes for your child(ren)?
A: My hope is for my son to receive a great education to succeed in his future endeavors.

Q: Why do you think it is important for your child(ren) to attend a tuition-based school in Philadelphia? Are there any improvements you have seen since choosing a tuition-based school?
A: My son is able to receive the individual guidance and concern that is needed to help him reach his goals. My son attends a school that not only provides a safe environment but has zero tolerance for violence. My son is able to learn, grow academically and have his ideas voiced and utilized in a positive way. Anthony became his 4th grade Class Representative last year and we are very happy. He is a young politician and loves to help people- he shows a great concern for keeping the school that he attends clean and germ free. As the Class Representative, he expressed his concern about the flu season by developing a flyer that expressed preventative measures to stop the spread of germs.

Q: How does your CSFP scholarship affect your family?
A: Without the CSFP scholarship  I could not financially afford to send my son to a tuition based school. I would have to send him to the public school in my area that is unsafe, academically challenged, overcrowded, and lacking funds.

Q: How did you feel when you were notified that you won the CSFP lottery? What was your reaction?
A: We were both overjoyed. I felt a sense of relief that my son will get a better education in a safe environment.

Q: What would you tell others about CSFP?
A: I would tell others to apply, to donate, to help give children a better education, and to help children to succeed.
