Mission Statement:
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.
To accomplish our mission, FAME provides African American students access to college preparatory education at participating independent schools via needs based financial assistance. FAME prepares students for success through attending FAME Academy and partner schools and by providing extensive ongoing programmatic support. Our programs help FAME Scholars develop through academic, extracurricular and holistic life experiences and grow into the leaders of tomorrow. FAME’s ultimate goal is to positively impact both the African American Community and society at large through the contribution of its scholars, leaders and programs.
FAME was established more than 29 years ago to provide need-based financial assistance to African American students, making a high-quality independent school education possible for students with limited financial resources. FAME also provides its scholars with tutoring, internships, academic enrichment courses, leadership and career awareness workshops and an annual college tour or leadership related excursion.
As FAME continues to prepare middle school students to fully realize their educational opportunities through the FAME Academy program, the organization is seeking experienced and enthusiastic teachers to serve as faculty for its 2022 school year program.
