What is the UMF?

The Urquhart Memorial Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization, that was founded by Philadelphia native Ernest H. Urquhart and his wife Michelle. While they now live in San Francisco, California the Urquharts continue to be committed to providing scholarship support for the deserving, eligible, African-American students attending college and/or universities in the state of Pennsylvania. Additionally, the UMF provides funding to organizations focused on research for the cures of diabetes and breast cancer, diseases significantly affecting African-Americans.

Facts

Medical researchers tell us...

Diabetes is one of the most serious health risks facing African-Americans. One in nine has the disease, and African-Americans are more likely to develop disabilities from diabetes than Caucasian-Americans.

United States statistics show...

One-third of African-American students at four year universities had an annual income of $20,000. Against these odds, African-American students continue to value a college education and prove themselves competitive, but your help is truly needed.
