In 1997, Children’s Jubilee Fund (or Urban Student Scholarship Appeal, as we were then known) paid out its first grants to area Christian schools. The goal? To create a way so that lower-income students could enroll in Jubilee Network schools rather than attend neighborhood public schools that could not serve their needs.
In 2022, we celebrated 25 years of awarding scholarship grants to a proven and growing network of Christian schools. Since 1997, the Lord has used Jubilee to enrich the lives of thousands of Philadelphia-area students and their families. The full impact of these changed lives is something only the Lord knows.
Below are some highlights from our 25th Anniversary Celebration that took place on October 1st, 2022.
