Enrichment & Access
San Francisco Friends School
San Francisco Friends School has launched the Friends Community Scholars program. This scholarship is for high-achieving, economically disadvantaged middle school students from neighborhoods surrounding the school. Friends Community Scholars, twelve in all, will be supported with funds for tuition, tutoring, enrichment, music lessons, student travel and experiential learning. ?Friends Community Scholars will be chosen for their demonstrated academic ability, capacity for hard work, and willingness to participate in the life of the school. The school will recruit Scholars through community partners and outreach efforts, with a focus on families who demonstrate significant financial need and with whom the school’s mission and values resonate. As well as increasing accessibility to the school and deepening its connection with the neighborhood, FCS will enhance the overall diversity of students and families at Friends.
