The Glenwood School for Boys and Girls

• This school's mission is to provide assistance to low-income families who cannot pay the costs of parochial or private high school. More than 60% of their recipients come from families that are living below the poverty level, according to the Glenwood School website. Glenwood is able to provide tuition scholarships to children from low-income families, in part because of donations from the community. These scholarships provide room, board, education and food to the students that are attending their high school program.
