Washington Scholarship Fund

Donate Now: Your Support is Transforming Lives!

On behalf of the students and families we serve, thank you for your interest in the Washington Scholarship Fund and our critical work.

WSF depends on dedicated individuals like you, as well as local and national foundations, family foundations, and corporations who are all committed to increasing educational opportunities for low-income students and families in our Nation’s Capital. Through WSF’s scholarships, programs, and services our supporters are helping to provide life-changing opportunities.

Just read our "Stories of Success" to understand the enormous positive impact of our work. Our students and families are achieving so much because our donors believe in the organization's mission and make steadfast financial commitments. We hope you, also, will invest in our talented scholars.

$1,500 to pay for a K-12 scholarship student's tuition — and books — for a semester.
