New Hope for Kids Dr. Saffran's Schollarship

New Hope for Kids and the family of Dr. Alan J. Saffran are proud to present a Scholarship Program created specifically for qualifying participants in our grief program. Dr. Saffran had a strong passion for education, and upon his death in 2013, his wife and children decided to honor that passion by creating a scholarship fund. As they were grieving his death, Dr. Saffran’s wife, Pamela, learned about New Hope for Kids’ mission to help grieving children. Because of her determination, compassion, and generosity, this scholarship program became a reality in 2019, offering help for college when the possibility of attending might have seemed impossible after their loss. It truly honors Dr. Saffran’s passion for education and supports the mission of New Hope for Kids.

Each year, the Dr. Alan J. Saffran Scholarship will award four $2,000 scholarships to college-bound Central Florida students who have demonstrated perseverance in the face of adversity, and who meet requirements set by the governing committee. The scholarship will be awarded based on each student’s high-school educational achievement, character, and financial hardship/need.
