Scholarship Recipients
Meet our Philadelphia Futures participants who received scholarship awards from The Echewa Fund.
We award $7,000 scholarships annually to high school seniors based on academic promise, financial need and first-generation college attendance.
For first-generation college students to succeed, a holistic approach is necessary. Therefore, The Echewa Fund stipulates that award recipients are active participants in Philadelphia Futures, which provides academic counseling, mentoring and various forms of enrichment throughout the high school and college years of students.
