Ideal Applicant
Established educational institutions or scholarship program partners (universities, professional associations, or community organizations that administer scholarship awards), especially those with an existing relationship or selection arrangement with the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Operates a scholarship program or hosts named scholarships.
- • Is a university, professional association, or established nonprofit that administers awards.
- • Has prior relationship or has been part of the foundation’s selection process.
- • Located or operating in Michigan or Arizona, given past recipients.
Geography
Grants in the observed years went to organizations in Michigan and Arizona, with the latest year dominated by Arizona (92% of dollars), indicating a small multi-state footprint rather than purely local or national reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct grantees and the three-year history lists three distinct recipients overall, with one organization repeatedly funded, so the observed recipient set is small for the period reviewed.
New Applicants
Although the foundation publishes scholarship application information and lists an application platform and contact, it also declares support is for preselected scholarship recipients and behavior shows repeated funding to the same recipient; these patterns suggest unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to enter the portfolio without being part of the foundation’s selection pathway.
