What is the Harrington Foundation?


The Harrington Foundation is a philanthropic consortium...

...dedicated exclusively for charitable purposes including promoting education by providing scholarships and other assistance to needy local, national and international students based on financial needs and considering the likelihood of success in their chosen field.

A bachelor’s degree is one of the best investments you can make. If you're a working adult, it can help you significantly increase your earnings by as much at 77% compared to someone with a high school diploma.

If you have the desire and ability but not the income, it is hard to make the decision to go on to college. That's where the HARRINGTON Foundation steps in to help a student get started. Once given an initial shove, a student will usually try to find some way to continue. While our scholarships do not cover the rising costs of tuition, every bit helps students attain their goals.

The education attainment of young adults in the U.S. continues to edge higher. Finances are central to all aspects of education. Differences in expenditures are of special interest when considering students in particular categories of historical concern, such as minority status, poverty and other at-risk factors. Low-income families rarely have savings or assets against which to borrow and are unlikely to have enough to pay for this post secondary education with their current income.
