PHENND Fellows - Philadelphia Ed Fund Persistence Fellow

Since 1985, the Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) has been a regional leader in addressing educational inequities through its comprehensive and evolving portfolio of direct-service, systems-level, and online programming. Its six embedded College Access Programs (CAP) directly provide post-secondary preparation and guidance to more than 1,700 low-income and first-generation Philadelphia public high school students annually. Over the years, CAP-involved students have consistently completed FAFSA, obtained high school diplomas, and pursued post-secondary education at higher rates than their peers. Additionally, PEF operates the Philadelphia Scholars program, the single largest non-university-based scholarship program in the city. Each year, it awards more than half a million dollars in gap-filling funds to College Access alumni who demonstrate financial need.
