WHO WE ARE
Our Roots
Pay It Forward Scholarship, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students achieve their educational dreams through financial support. The idea started in 2016 by two high school friends who graduated from the same Illinois high school and Pennsylvania university. The goal was simple yet powerful: give back to the next generation by providing the same support received during high school.
