Who We Are and What We Do
Families are always searching for the best educational environment for their student. BASIC Fund helps bridge the gap by making private school an option for low-income families.
Currently, only 11% of lowest income quartile students manage to attain a college degree within a six-year timeframe, whereas 58% of all income level students achieve the same feat. Notably, BASIC Fund alumni who represent the lower income quartile, defy this disparity by achieving a college graduation rate of 53%, effectively eliminating the income gap.
Private schools have thousands of empty seats in capacity, and with your help we can fill those seats today by providing a scholarship to a student. No waiting for policy changes, no winning a lottery
