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
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.
Right now only 11% of low-income students earn a college degree, over a six-year period, whereas 58% of high-income students earn a college degree in that time.
BASIC Fund alumni graduate college at a rate of 53%, effectively erasing the income gap.
Students are taught discipline, values, and study habits that follow them throughout their lives. Parents are empowered to make a difference for their children, and their family.
