- The Children's Scholarship Fund Mission Statement
The Children's Scholarship Fund - Portland is part of a national, privately funded program that offers four year partial scholarships to low-income students. In 1999 Cascade raised $1 million, to be matched by national funds, in order to bring this opportunity to the Portland area. Cascade now facilitates the program locally, where approximately 400 students are now enrolled in schools of their choice.
