The Scholarship Fund for Inner-City Children is a non-profit organization funded by corporations, foundations and individual donors who wish to invest in the future of needy inner-city children living in neighboring communities. The primary mission of SFIC is to provide these youngsters with elementary and high school scholarships that will enable them to attend private schools offering a high quality, values-based education.
Established in 1983, SFIC has strongly impacted the lives of thousands of inner-city children enabling them to attend private and parochial schools in Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union Counties. SFIC scholarships are based on need without regard to race, religion or ethnic background. Most recipients are African-American or Hispanic children attending inner-city schools, and the majority is non-Catholic. These scholarships are intended to provide them with the tools for independence and success. The great news is that 90% of inner-city students attending Catholic high school graduates go on to college. This is no small achievement for a disadvantaged inner-city child.
A partnership with the Children’s Scholarship Fund (CSF), a national organization, has increased the number of scholarships significantly over the past five years. With the matching funds provided by CSF, scholarship programs have been expanded in Newark, Jersey City, and Elizabeth with dramatic results. The families that have benefited are most appreciative of the rare opportunity offered to their children. To quote a Newark parent:
“This program has offered those who have nothing, hope. And, as parents, we see this hope in our children’s eyes whenever they come home from school.”
The SFIC has been able to generate over $30 million for scholarships. It is the philosophy of the Scholarship Fund for inner-City Children and its many generous donors that when we dignify our youngsters with a sound education, integrity, and strong self-esteem, we dignify our community.
The SFIC would like to thank its sponsors for their support -- including The Star Ledger, Hudson City Savings Bank, White Castle, Investors Savings Bank, the Speedwell Foundation, Knight Capital Group, Acorn Financial Services, the Amelior Foundation, the MCJ Foundation, the Walsh Family, and JAG Physical Therapy. And of course, a special thanks to Kean University for their support of the Basketball Festival.
