Ideal Applicant
Graduating 12th‑grade students from DC public or charter schools applying for individual scholarships, and educational institutions or scholarship programs that administer awards for such students or run aligned student‑support initiatives.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is a DC public or charter school 12th‑grade graduate meeting the explicit eligibility rules.
- • Submission includes the required materials (autobiographical statement, transcripts, test scores, recommendation letters, FAFSA, etc.).
- • Applications are submitted within the published application window and to the named contact.
- • An institution or college scholarship office proposing awards or partnerships tied to student scholarships.
Geography
Grants in the latest year were distributed across roughly a dozen states plus Washington, DC, and roughly three‑quarters of dollars went to out‑of‑state recipients while about one quarter went to the foundation’s home jurisdiction.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 21 distinct recipients including individual scholarship awards, universities, and charities, and the portfolio across three years consistently funds many independent recipients rather than a tiny closed set.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application instructions, a clear annual deadline, and a named contact, and the latest year shows substantial turnover with 11 new recipients, indicating unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path into the portfolio.
