The PFBL Scholarship Fund Inc. was established in 2006 to motivate and enable low-income youths, who would be the first generation in their families bound for college, to pursue their dreams of higher education. The Fund fulfills this purpose by awarding college scholarships to deserving high school students graduating senior from a high school in the New York City metropolitan area. On an annual basis, the PFBL Scholarship Fund, Inc. works cooperatively with the high schools’ college advisors/guidance counselors to select the students chosen for the award. Each student must be recommended for the scholarship by the college advisors/guidance counselor and must demonstrate a financial need. To date the PFBL Scholarship Fund, Inc has awarded nearly $174,500 to 349 NYC metro students.
