Friends with Dignity is committed to supporting and offering children impacted by Domestic and Family Violence opportunities that would ensure happy, healthy, and inclusive lives.
Through the Little Friends Scholarships, they help children further their education or participate in extracurricular activities they may otherwise miss out on due to the financial impact of Domestic and Family Violence. Scholarships are awarded nationwide on an as-needed basis, with all valid applications reviewed and considered.
Scholarships are available up to a maximum value of $500 per child.
