ABOUT US
Heroes Foundation of America is a Non-Profit organization based upon the conviction that an educated citizen is essential to a healthy community and economy.
The foundation provides scholarship opportunities to post-secondary/ vocational programs and support services to GED students and recent graduates who were enrolled in adult education programs in the School District of Palm Beach County and who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals.
WHAT WE FUND
* GED® students enrolled in the School District of PBC GED® programs:
All proceeds directly support and empower GED® students who lack financial
resources and personal services to attain a high school equivalency diploma
(GED®), Accommodations on The GED ®Test, and scholarships to Post-Secondary, or Vocational Programs.
* John and Sandra Caruso Memorial Scholarship:
This scholarship would honor their life’s work and continue their mission by offering
educational opportunities to individuals who face significant financial or personal
challenges. By funding the education of those who might otherwise be overlooked,
the scholarship will ensure that the Caruso’s values of compassion, perseverance,
and lifelong learning will endure for generations to come.
GRANT OPPORTUNITIES
The Foundation believes that through education, opportunity is created for all, to achieve their dreams and transform their lives. The HEROES Foundation Scholarship is a highly selective, full scholarship for
exceptional, Pell-eligible, adult education students. With the launch of this program in 2017, The HEROES Foundation is committed to helping adult education students, who come from low-income backgrounds, realize their maximum potential. This organization
was designed to assist GED students, enrolled in the Palm Beach County School District’s adult education programs, or have recently graduated (within a year of enrollment date) with counseling, GED testing fees, and scholarship opportunities to help them achieve their personal and professional goals. This prestigious scholarship program is based on evidence that by eliminating the financial barriers to college, a scholarship can enable high potential, low-income students to excel in their course work, graduate college, and continue to be leaders throughout their lives.

HEROES foundation of America provides funds for scholarships, counseling, completes documentation required for testing with accommodations on the GED Test, and support services to boost GED graduations and transition students to post-secondary, vocational or employment opportunities.
