Frances Day Scholarship Fund
Frances Day attributed her interest in child welfare to having been orphaned and raised by a loving and devoted foster mother. Day traveled the state by bicycle, investigating prospective homes for children.
The Frances Day Scholarship Fund was established in 1901 to award New Jersey youth currently or formerly in foster care scholarships for post-secondary education.
To be eligible youth must have been placed in an out-of-home setting at the age of 12 or older and remained in care for a minimum of six cumulative months.
