Friends Charities was founded so that up and coming generations of students can benefit from our communities just as we did. Put simply, we want to give back!
At Friends Charities, giving back starts with financial assistance. The expenses that come with pursuing higher education are not news to anyone. Many students struggle to pay for an education beyond high school or are discouraged from even attempting it due to prohibitive costs. This is why we formed Friends Charities in part as a scholarship fund. We know firsthand that every bit of assistance counts.
We also know that money alone does not guarantee success. Students need guidance and support to help them make the most of their college careers and build a future for themselves. The second major component of Friends Charities is the offer of periodic mentorship opportunities. We seek to help students prepare not only for academic life, but also for their first steps into a successful career.
