Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia (CSFP) has just awarded 2,000 brand new scholarships for the 2012-13 school year!

Take a moment to watch this story from WPVI-ABC6 in Philadelphia and listen to what some of the newest scholarship recipients have to say about the program.

You’ll also meet Anthony Samuel, a CSFP alum now studying accounting in college. Anthony describes his mother’s reaction when he first won his scholarship: “When the Children’s Scholarship Fund came through, it was like a burden lifted from her shoulders; she literally felt like she hit the lottery.”

CSFP has awarded private school scholarships to more than 8,500 children over the past twelve years.
