The Philadelphia Scholars Program was established by the Ed Fund in 1990 to promote college access and success. The Philadelphia Scholars Program has awarded more than $8 million in Last Dollar Scholarships to over 1,800 Philadelphia high school students. For the 2009-2010 academic year, the program has awarded $996,506 in scholarships to 317 students.
There is no cost for the event but we encourage guests to make a contribution to support this wonderful program. All contributions received before June 30, 2010 will be recognized in the Ed Fund's fall 2010 honor roll.
