YOU CAN HELP!!!
Incarcerated students are not eligible for federal financial aid. As a result, post-secondary education opportunities are virtually nonexistent.
There are several ways that you can help:
1. Contact your congressional representative and tell them
to support an amendment of the Violent Crime Control
and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to once again allow
for Pell Grant eligibility to incarcerated students.
2. Volunteer assistance is always welcome. Contact us at
the address below for details.
3. Make a tax deductible donation to the Prison Scholar
Fund! Send a check or money order payable to "The
Prison Scholar Fund":
The Prison Scholar Fund
23517 Orville Road East
Orting, WA 98360
The Prison Scholar Fund is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Over 90% of all donated funds directly support Prison Scholars. All contributions are fully tax deductible.
