LeTendre Education Fund Scholarships *
Children and youth in homeless situations face numerous barriers to
educational success.
Deep poverty, high mobility, and school requirements often make attending
and
succeeding in school a challenge. Despite these challenges, many students
who experience homelessness not only graduate from high school, but wish to
pursue a college education.
Established in 1998 in memory of André E. LeTendre, husband of Mary Jean
LeTendre,
former Director of Compensatory Education for the U.S. Department of
Education, the
LeTendre Education Fund for Homeless Children provides scholarship
assistance to
students who are homeless or have experienced homelessness.
Applications are accepted from November 1, 2007 - September 12, 2008!
