About us
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?

🚨 My latest column at Broad + Liberty “Education Tax Credits Work” Pennsylvania’s Education Improvement Tax Credit program (EITC—and OSTC & EDS) works for students, parents, donors to the program And taxpayers, too. Over 500,000 students have been helped so far—an additional 90,000 will be helped this year. And, taxpayers actually will save over $1Billion this year because students using education tax credit scholarships won’t be enrolled at district public schools, which can cost taxpayers up to $23,000/student—or more—vs. an average tax-credit scholarship of under $4,000. From my column: “We’ve known parents are happy —they keep signing-up and sending their children back to their new schools. We now have the data to show that these students are learning — almost always better than their peers at their local district-run schools, and as well as if not better than the students at the school they’ve transferred into with their scholarship. The Commonwealth Foundation conducted a year-long study of students who have been fortunate enough to get these tax credit-supported scholarships. Students are learning. Parents are grateful. And donors can now see even more benefits. And, taxpayers win, too.” Commonwealth Foundation RealClearPolitics PoliticsPA BLOCS - Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools Foundation for Catholic Education Children's Scholarship Fund Philadelphia
