What We Do
The Committee on Friends Education Granting Group makes grants in support of educational priorities. Some of these grants are made to PYM Member students in PYM-area Friends Schools; some grants are made to students in Small Friends Schools; some grants are made to PYM Members for post-secondary education; and other grants are made to teachers and Friends Schools directly.
