Byrne Urban Scholars has grown an average of 40% percent every year since its beginning in 1994. The organization is currently sponsoring more students than ever before with hopes of continuing to increase the number of scholarships and expand educational programs, as well as add additional staff members. In order to do this, however, Byrne Urban Scholars must continue to actively pursue fundraising and donation opportunities.

Annual tuition in 2007 ranged from $2,400 to $8,500 per academic year. Corporations, mentors, and individuals contribute a portion of the scholarship for a particular student over the four years of high school.

A unique aspect of Byrne Urban Scholars is that all of the expenses associated with salaries and overhead are paid directly by Byrne Urban Scholars. Funds received from foundations, individuals, and corporations are used exclusively for tuition assistance and program expenses. Having administrative expenses covered enables the organization to use contributions to provide educational opportunities to a greater number of students.

Byrne Urban Scholars is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. All contributions to the organization, including tuition payments, are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by the law.
