Children's Scholarship Fund Philadelphia Revenue and Competitors

Children's Scholarship Fund Philadelphia (CSFP) is a privately-funded program whose mission is to provide children from under-resourced Philadelphia families with financial access to quality, safe, K-8th grade, tuition-based schools, thereby increasing their long-term economic and social success. CSFP grants need-based scholarships to children from low-income Philadelphia families, all of which are awarded by random lottery. Your business can get involved with CSFP by volunteering, sponsoring an event or learning about how to use your PA tax liability to fund scholarships for low-income children. Learn more about the EITC and OSTC programs at http://www.csfphiladelphia.org/tax-credits/. CSFP was established as part of the CSF National organization in 1998. CSFP is now the largest provider of K-8th grade scholarship support in PA. Since 1999, CSFP has awarded over 28,500 scholarships to children in need of quality elementary education. CSFP scholarships provide children from under-resourced families with the financial assistance they need in order to attend quality tuition-based schools, and our program yields great outcomes for students. Current CSFP students attend school over 96% of the time and consistently surpass their peers by achieving at or above grade level in math and reading on standardized tests. CSFP alumni maintain a 96% on-time high school graduation rate (compared to a Philadelphia public high school graduation rate of 60%). CSFP scholarships are in great demand. Each year, we turn away about 7,000 children whose parents are desperate for quality educational opportunities for their children. Interested in supporting Children's Scholarship Fund Philadelphia?
