Since
1964, the Black Student Fund (BSF) has provided financial
assistance and support services to Washington, DC metropolitan
area African-American students, grades pre-kindergarten to
12, and their families. BSF-assisted students stay in school,
graduate high school with distinction and enter college. 70%
of these students are from one-parent households. Many are
the first generation to progress to higher education.
Established
to racially desegregate the independent schools of the National
Capital area, the Fund serves as an advocate for all black
children and strives to assure that black students and their
families have equal access to every educational opportunity.
