Our Mission

      • The Camden Schools Foundation is dedicated to supporting the students and schools in Camden, NJ. We provide scholarships, secure grants, and disperse funds for activities and programs that would otherwise go unfunded. Click here to learn more about scholarships.
      • Through scholarships we enable talented students to make college more affordable. Grants for S.T.E.A.M. labs expose students early to the growing fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. We believe the students of Camden should receive every opportunity for success.
