The BFS Lourdes Scholarship

Brooklyn Free Space has a stated commitment to increasing the diversity of our community in many ways. In 2008, BFS established a new scholarship fund to further this goal.

The Lourdes Scholarship honors our long-time Educational Director, Lourdes Torres-Shepard, whose dedication and brilliance over 20 years' time helped BFS to become the wonderful, children-first learning environment it is now.

We intend this scholarship to help students who might otherwise be unable to attend BFS. While it is too soon yet for us to be able to offer scholarship money to current or prospective BFS students, we hope to be able to do so in the foreseeable future. You can help!

We'll provide details soon on how you can help.
