Meet Our Founder
We'd like you to take a few moments and meet our founder, Dr. Irving Fradkin, who in 1958 had the simple idea that if everyone in his hometown gave just $1, local students would have a chance they otherwise wouldn't to go to college. In the video below, Dr. Fradkin meets some dedicated volunteers and students who, half a century later, have benefited from that very idea. (You can also watch and share the high-definition version at our YouTube channel.)
Dr. Fradkin's idea relies on community help for students' dreams. By supporting Scholarship America, you can help make those dreams into reality.
