I am very blessed to be a recipient of the Children’s Scholarship Fund. I have been receiving the gracious scholarship for 4 years and I’m always very grateful for the opportunity they have granted me and my family. My oldest son, Joel, graduated from St. John’s School in the Bronx and my youngest, David, currently attends and he’s in 3rd grade. They both were very excited to attend a great catholic school that provides structure, discipline, a nurturing/safe environment along with loving administrators/staff members. I strongly believe that children shouldn’t be denied a good education due to limited funds in the household. But, thankfully for the generosity of others we are able to prepare our children for a better tomorrow. That can guarantee the children to expand their education and continue their studies into high school, college, and position them towards their field of interest that can provide them with a good career; A career that can allow them to pay it forward and assist those in need.
Again, we are very grateful for the Children’s Scholarship Fund along with their dedicated staff. Angelica Zamudio is my favorite, who’s yours??

I was lucky enough to be part of the team that redesigned the Children's Scholarship Fund website. Getting to work with the wonderful CSF staff was such an eye-opening experience that I decided to quit my ad agency job and start a company that specifically helps nonprofits. Not only is CSF run by some of the nicest people around, but the organization itself achieves amazing results. As the writer for the website, I was constantly impressed by the life-changing services CSF provides to kids and families across the country. CSF is the kind of charity that not everyone knows about; but once you learn about its mission and successes, it's impossible not to be touched.

I have been involved with CSF for several months. It is a very worthwhile charity, run by a very friendly and ambitious team. By providing need-based scholarships while engaging the students' families, CSF ensures a better rate of success for these childen. It has been great fun working with the CSF team and very fulfilling to take part in changing families lives.

I have worked with CSF for over a year now and continue to be amazed at the opportunities they provide underprivileged children throughout the nation. They are focused on producing results rather than just advocating for changes. This refreshing approach has allowed thousands of students to prosper when they normally would not have had that chance. I am proud to be associated with such an impressive non-profit!

CSF has changed the lives and futures of countless children by helping them attend schools where they can succed academically, providing low-income children with the opportunity for the bright future they all deserve. The fact that CSF was initially organized and funded to provide scholarships for only 4 years, yet it has funded more than 25,000 scholarships a year for the past 13 years, is a testament to CSF's caring leadership and efficient management, who are among the most savvy, professional, concientious, and hard-working I have encountered in more than 20 years in the not-for-profit industy. They continue to work tirelessly,along with a generous and deeply committed board, to keep kids in schools where they succeed.

Hands-down one of the most important and worthwhile charities with which I have ever had the opportunity to be associated. The Children's Scholarship Fund ("CSF") exists to help our nation's most precious asset - our children - and the most deserving amongst them - inner city children in "broken" schools - by placing them in charter schools they would never be able to afford to break the cycle of poverty and lead "normal" lives. The work of this charity is truly life-changing; for most of these children, CSF represents the one chance they'll get to escape the multigeneration cycle of poverty afflicting their families and neighborhoods. If you ever get the opportunity to attend a CSF event and meet the wonderful children this charity exists to serve, you will come away changed.

CSF is unique in that it pushes for real education reform while helping
actual children today. As a parent, I can't imagine having no choice but
to send my child to a failing inner-city school and I applaud CSF for
its efforts to give all parents, regardless of income, a choice on where
and how their children should be educated. Yes, reformers are trying to
improve our education system, but what about the children who are
currently trapped in terrible schools? By supporting CSF, I know that
I'm helping to move the needle on education reform while helping those
kids right now.

In a time when there are so many underprivlaged children accross the U.S. CSF is there to help change the cycle and make a difference. I'm proud to be associated with them and I think their cause is awesome.

It's amazing how many children and their families Children's Scholarship Fund helps. More than 25,000 scholarships are given out every year! While lots of groups are trying to figure out how to "fix" our educational system, CSF is directly helping kids to get a great education. Keep up the good work, CSF!

As someone who had the opportunity to attend private school through scholarships, I can truly say that the work that the Children's Scholarship Fund does is life-changing. The right education can fundamentally alter the course of a child's life and the Children's Scholarship Fund empowers families to make the right educational choice for their children. CSF is an extremely large organization and supports the education of thousands of students around the country. At the same time, its programs are very personal - the Board connects with parents and actively involves them in its programs and events. It's a truly unique program and one that I would wholeheartedly recommend.
