Established in 2015, The Drexel Fund is a venture philanthropy fund. In such, the fund seeks visionary founders interested in gaining access to support and resources needed to take an inspired dream to an actual reality. These resources, to create new, sustainable, replicable high-performing private schools that can provide transformational outcomes for all students and families, especially families of limited means and educational access. As a recipient of this fellowship, STARS Global Preparatory School received a startup endorsement worth over $100,000 to open the new facilities.
