National Friends Education Fund (NFEF) is a tuition aid fund that supports Quaker children in Friends schools across the country.

The National Friends Education Fund (NFEF), administered by Friends Council on Education, provides tuition aid to support Quaker children in Friends schools across the country. The fund aims to increase the ability of Quaker families to afford to send their children to Friends schools. Friends schools value the presence and active participation of their Quaker families; and Quaker families, likewise, value the institutional missions and commitments of Friends schools. For this reason, Friends Council on Education joins the efforts of families, schools, and Monthly Meetings to provide tuition assistance for Quaker families who demonstrate need.

Your contribution, either through restricted annual giving or directly to the endowment, enables tuition aid at a level that many families consider to be a tipping point for attending a Friends school. Make your gift today

NFEF consists of two different endowments that are united to amplify and advance the sixty-year legacy of Friends Education Fund as well as to have national reach and impact. Donors who feel strongly about Philadelphia Yearly Meeting-area schools may continue to restrict their gifts to PYM-area schools as they wish.
