Scholarship Endowment

"This BALF Scholarship has been very important to me. It has enabled me to meet my expenses in a very real way and has been an essential contribution to my educational expenses…My goal is to continue my education …and become an outstanding history teacher, someone who contributes to the educational advancement of all children in my classes, and to be a positive role model for them. I want children to see that hard work and commitment can enable them to accomplish their goals, no matter what obstacles they may face."
-M. Jaques

The Boston Adult literacy Fund has awarded over 190 scholarships to outstanding adults who have completed their adult literacy studies and are continuing on to college.

Creating an endowed scholarship is an excellent way to affirm the value of learning. The Boston adults who improve their education with your help will be a living memorial to your shared values.

You can endow a scholarship fund in your name or your business' name or in honor of a relative or friend. You may select the recipient from the candidates chosen by the Boston Adult Literacy Fund's Community Advisory Council. You will be invited to the Scholarship Reception to meet the adult learners and will receive a progress report on your scholar.

For information on how to establish an endowed scholarship, please call (617) 720-0181.
