The Benefits

Students

Independent schools offer low-income students a chance and a challenge.  They are exposed to rich diversity, new ideas, and new ways of learning.  They are expected and encouraged to do their best.  This tradition of success leads to high standardized test scores and high graduation rates.
 

Schools

By filling empty desks with scholarship students, we make schools stronger.  In areas with changing demographics, scholarships offer schools greater financial stability through an expanded base of support.  These monies allow financially strapped schools to serve children in their neighborhoods.

Community

An investment in education is good economics.  Well-educated children make better life choices.  We strengthen our inner city neighborhoods through the presence of a neighborhood school.  We enhance the local job market through a well-trained employee pool.
