Spotlight on Girard College

Today's spotlight takes us to Philadelphia, PA, the home of Girard College. Only a few schools in America offer a free education. Girard is one of them. The school came into being as the result of the gift of one of the richest men in America in his time. Stephen Girard lived from 1750-1831 and believed that fatherless boys from poor families deserved a better chance at receiving a good education. The school boards students from 1st grade through 12th grade. All expenses paid.
