FAME 30th Anniversary Celebration

FAME - Fund for Advancement of Minorities through Education celebrates 30 years of service. Our mission to educate, empower, and embolden African American youth in grades 3-12 and provide college and career readiness has helped our FAME Alumni become community leaders, advocates, visionaries, and change makers. 


For 30 years, 100% of our FAME Scholars have been accepted to 4-year colleges and universities. Additionally, FAME impacts the community at large through its FAME Academy and FAME Teachers' Academy programs. Stay engaged for celebration updates!


FAME’s Mission

FAME's mission is to educate, empower and embolden African American youth to become student ambassadors of today, leaders of tomorrow and stewards of their communities by providing access to college preparatory education at participating independent schools in the Greater Pittsburgh area through the provision of need based financial assistance.
