Wharton-Penn Foundation
The Wharton-Penn Club Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) was organized in response to the club members’ desire to provide social outreach activities to the Filipino community.
The primary purpose for which the Foundation is incorporated is to grant scholarship awards, as well as other forms of financial assistance, to deserving students, whose financial means are inadequate to support their education. It is a goal of the foundation to enable such students to pursue further graduate studies at The Wharton Graduate School and other schools of the University of Pennsylvania, as well as other schools or universities, whether in the Philippines or abroad, and advance their professional development, including the granting of professorial chairs for the enhancement of professional courses, including the provision of allowances and other forms of financial assistance as may be needed by the grantees in the pursuit of such studies.
Apart from scholarship grants, the Foundation has supported teacher training, school book drives and a number of community building activities.
