Vision Statement
Our vision for the local community: Every student in the local community shall realize his/her full potential in higher education regardless of social or economic constraints.

To maintain the spirit of the Fund, the NTSAF professional and student staff conduct high school and community college visits to bring awareness of the scholarship. In addition, Topping Scholars are required to conduct at least five of their total twenty hours of service conducting either outreach or recruitment pertaining to higher education. In most cases, Topping scholars fulfill these hours in collaboration with the NTSAF Outreach efforts.

Target Schools
The original spirit of the Fund was to provide low income students from the surrounding community tuition assistance for them to attend the University of Southern California. In light of this history, the NTAF has identified local high schools and community colleges as target schools. Students residing in the areas around these schools receive priority consideration in the selection process. Please note that this aspect of the selection criteria does not guarantee selection as a Topping Scholar.

The target schools as identified by our university parameters are:

High Schools
Abraham Lincoln Senior High School Animo Film and Theater Academy Animo Jackie Robinson Charter High School Crenshaw High School Susan Miller Dorsey High School Downtown Business Magnet High School Foshay Learning Center Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School Frederick Douglass High School	Los Angeles Leadership Academy Manual Arts High School Math, Science, Technology Magnet High School Orthopedic Medical Magnet High School Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School Thomas Jefferson High School Wallis Annenberg High School Woodrow Wilson Senior High School Sacred Heart High School
