The mission of The Parents Stand Up Scholarship Fund is to bridge the gaps that prevent students from achieving their full potential. We are committed to empowering graduates of District 160 as they transition to high school or post-secondary education by providing financial support, encouragement, and recognition. We believe that parents, families, and the community are the strongest advocates for our children’s success. By standing up for students who demonstrate resilience, academic commitment, and perseverance despite hardship, we are creating a village that invests in the future — one student at a time. Because when parents stand up, our children step forward with confidence, purpose, and opportunity.
