Meet the Echewa Fund recipients

With your help, we award $12,000 scholarships annually to high school seniors based on academic promise, financial need and first-generation college attendance.

Taking a holistic approach to education

To qualify, candidates must be active participants in Heights Philadelphia, which provides academic counseling, mentoring and various forms of enrichment throughout the high school and college years of students.

Heights Philadelphia gives students, especially Black, Brown, and first-generation-to-college youth from low-income communities, educational programming that unlocks academic and professional results — and a network of people who believe in them.
