The Independent Scholarship Fund’s purpose is not only to assist children in our community by providing them an immediate alternative to the current public school crisis, but also to demonstrate that competitive, innovative, community-based approaches can revolutionize the educational system, improve the quality of education that children receive, and benefit society as a whole.
At the same time, the Independent Institute’s Center on Educational Excellence pursues a research and education program to critically examine the educational crisis, and to chart a course for the achievement of educational excellence for all. Projects include commissioning studies and books on the issues of school choice and education policy, as well as producing and disseminating a wide array of commentary, op-eds, and conference and media events to further awareness of educational issues.
