Ideal Applicant
Individual U.S. students applying for scholarships or accredited U.S. colleges that can receive scholarship payments; organizations focused on youth education with clear scholarship programs.
Good Fit
- • U.S. citizenship and enrollment at an accredited U.S. college or university.
- • Submission through the foundation's online scholarship portal by the stated deadline.
- • A clear youth-education or scholarship purpose for the request.
- • Request sizes in the typical $5K–$10K range or structured as scholarship payments to institutions.
Geography
Giving in the latest year reached 34 states and only about 19% of dollars stayed in the foundation's home state, indicating a national footprint rather than a local-only focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 101 distinct recipients in the latest year with a low financial concentration (largest recipient ≈2%, top five ≈9%), and only a handful of repeat grantees across years, showing a broad and decentralized recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes published application instructions, an online portal, and a clear deadline; behaviorally, 95 of 101 recipients in the latest year were new, which supports that unfamiliar applicants can and do enter the portfolio.
