Pathway Scholars Resources

Welcome to the New Pathway Scholar Resources Page!

In addition to financial support, our scholarship program encourages service to our community. We believe that through community service we are able to discover our passions, develop new skills and encourage a sense of higher purpose. As such, DLFF Pathway Scholars are given opportunities to work with our Foundation on various community service projects.

Find the most up to date information and resources for current Pathway Scholars here. Important announcements, upcoming events, deadlines, and more can be found below.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

2026 Read for the House

Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the Philadelphia Region supports families with children who are undergoing serious medical treatments. They provide lodging and meals as well as other critical services.
 
We are inviting all our DLFF Scholars at our partner grade schools to join our 2026 Read for the House team (Team DLFF) and help support families in need.  This year we also thought it would be fun to extend the opportunity to any student at our partner schools; so, Pathway Scholars are encouraged to invite their friends to join our team as well!
 
Our team's goal is to raise $1,500 and DLFF will match dollar-for-dollar all money raised by the DLFF Scholars, up to our goal!
 
You may be asking yourself, how exactly does Read for The House work? Well, after joining our team, scholars will seek donations from family and friends to sponsor minutes they pledge to read. Then, Scholars will log each minute they read throughout the month of February via RMHC's website.  
 
If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
