Since its founding, Friends of Solar Prep has had a lasting impact on the scholars, educators, and families of Solar Preparatory Schools for Girls and Boys. Through dedicated fundraising and community engagement, the organization has raised over $2 million, directly enhancing the educational experience and expanding opportunities for students across both campuses.

This investment has supported high-quality STEAM programming, professional learning for educators, and essential resources like the Peace Pantry, which provides ongoing support to families in need. Thousands of scholars have been directly impacted by these efforts, with a ripple effect that has reached countless others across the broader community.

In 2025, Friends of Solar Prep will continue its mission of empowerment with the launch of the Jennifer Turner Scholarship, honoring the legacy of Jennifer Turner, co-founder of Solar Prep for Girls. This scholarship will support graduating female scholars as they take the next step in their educational journey—ensuring that the spirit of leadership, confidence, and purpose that began at Solar continues well beyond the classroom.
