With all the wealth, and generosity
and entrepreneurial imagination that
is America's, there's no reason why we
can't harness the creative forces of
competition to create more excellence
in education.
Theodore J. Forstmann
Co-Chairman & CEO
Children's Scholarship Fund, Inc.
Low-income Baltimore families urgently
need choices in education. The tuition
assistance we provide helps many of
these families send their children to schools
that often are safer,
more supportive and academically better
than the schools they now attend.
Such support can make a
tremendous difference to struggling
families and their children.
That is a gift we can deliver to our
city's needy.
Raymond A. "Chip" Mason
Honorary Chairman
We believe that all families, regardless of their
economic circumstances, deserve a choice in where
they send their children to school.
