Page Education Foundation

Page Education Foundation The Page Education Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1988 by NFL Hall of Famer Alan Page, and his wife, Diane Sims Page.

Our mission is to create heroes through education and service. In 1988, Diane and Alan Page created the Page Education Foundation (501c3) to encourage Minnesota students of color to pursue post-secondary education. From its inception, the Page Education Foundation has offered financial assistance to students of color facing barriers to attaining their educational dreams. In turn, these young leade

rs return to their communities to serve as tutors and role models for elementary and junior high school students. In its first year, the Foundation awarded Page Grants for post-secondary education to 10 Page Scholars. Thirty-five years later, over $16 million in Page Grants has been awarded to more than 8,000 Page Scholars. Our Page Scholars have given nearly 500,000 hours of volunteer service to communities across Minnesota, impacting the lives of over 50,000 children. Alan, with a public and successful career as a professional football player and then as a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, was and is the face of the Page Education Foundation, but Diane was its heart and soul. Diane died of cancer on September 29, 2018. Today, guided and inspired by Diane’s vision and commitment to creating opportunities—and hope—for Minnesota students of color, Alan and the Page Education Foundation continue her work. In 2020, the Page Education Foundation’s board members agreed to rename the organization “The Page Education Foundation founded by Diane and Alan Page,” doing business as the Page Education Foundation in order to more directly recognize Diane’s crucial role in starting and growing the foundation.

Congratulations to Page Scholar Alum Isiah Vang on graduating this spring from Minnesota State University – Mankato with a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics!

Isiah has been such a presence and a great representation of what being a Page Scholar means. His hard work, kindness, and helpful attitude are what makes him so special as he truly wants to make his community a better place for all. We are so proud of him and all he will continue to accomplish throughout his career and life.

“The Page Education Foundation allowed me opportunities to see how much I can benefit from the community around me as well as how much they can benefit me. Without PEF, I would not have had these opportunities to learn about where help and guidance is needed.”

Congratulations Isiah!
