Mission

The First in Family Fund is a scholarship funding company that aims to remove and reduce these barriers for immigrant families in NYC. We support students who are the first in their families to pursue higher education, providing top-tier services from Kweller Prep at little to no cost. Kweller Prep programs also support students entering and graduating from New York City’s most competitive high schools. Kweller Prep’s founder, Frances Kweller, Esq., drew on her experiences as a first-generation student while developing her competitive preparatory programs. Kweller desires to “fill the gaps” and remove barriers to education by providing scholarship support to students through the First in Family Fund.
