The Josh Paul Foundation (TJPF) is a non-profit organization founded to honor the legacy of
the late educator, Joshua Paul Schwarz. TJPF raises money annually, through special events that
Josh Paul was passionate about in his life – education, music, and health and fitness. These
events benefit a scholarship fund dedicated to students that have faced adversity and/or
financial barriers but wish to continue their education beyond high school graduation. There is
also a limited allocation based on merit for this scholarship.
TJPF leadership reviews each application in confidence and makes award decisions based on
the information provided in the application submission.
