In an effort to encourage professionalism in our public education system, the Foundation provides scholarships and grants to worthy teachers. These grants are provided primarily to student teachers, to mentors of student teachers, and to educators who demonstrate unique expertise in advancing professionalism in their classrooms. In addition, the Foundation makes grants to other charitable and educational organizations that have similar purposes, goals and activities of the Association of American Educators.

The Edith Schwab Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Edith Schwab, Deputy Director of the Legislative Research Commission. This scholarship provides a non-renewable award of at least $1,000 to a graduate student pursuing a degree and career in government service (i.e. public service). This includes, but is not limited to fields of study such as public administration, teaching, public health, or social work.

The Fund supports with financial grants those members of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting who are over the age of 21 and who need assistance to prepare themselves to teach at the primary or secondary school level. Grants are also made to those Friends who are already teaching, but who seek to improve their skills with a graduate degree. When making awards, preference is given to teachers from small Friends schools. The smaller schools are often unable to assist teachers engaged in graduate studies. But all teachers who are members of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting are eligible for help. While it may sound contradictory, the Fund is favorably disposed to those candidates who look to make a personal contribution to their own advancement and to those who have low to moderate incomes.
