Ideal Applicant
Local education-focused recipients: Lowell High School seniors meeting the stated scholarship criteria, or colleges/universities acting as scholarship channels for those students.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is a senior and prospective graduate of Lowell High School who meets the stated GPA and participation criteria.
- • Submission includes the requested personal, academic, service, work, and financial information by the April 1 deadline.
- • Applicant or channeling institution is based in Michigan (in-state recipients only have been funded).
- • Evidence of local community involvement or ties to the foundation’s service area.
- • Ability to use the named mailing contact and address to submit materials.
Geography
Observed grantmaking is entirely in Michigan across the three-year record, with all recipients in the latest year located in-state.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year funds a small set of independent recipients (4–5 recipients per year), showing a modestly diverse recipient set for a micro private foundation rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited but there is one new recipient in the latest year and explicit application instructions and a named contact; the pattern is relationship- and criteria-driven, so new entrants are possible but likely must meet the local scholarship rules.
