Fund for Education

Supporting students through grants, scholarships and more. We strive for educational equity and where race, ethnicity and first-generation status are not predictive of post-secondary enrollment, persistence and degree or credential attainment. Through our Fund for Education the Community Foundation addresses the systemic barriers that hold students back. We collaborate with partners committed to changing these conditions so all students in Kent County can achieve their dreams. Your gift will support new and proven approaches, like support for students and families through grants and scholarships.
