Student Enrichment Grants

Learn More... Your Way!

Students in grades 7 through 12 can apply for a grant of up to $500 to help cover the costs associated with certain educational activities and experiences such as leadership seminars, educational camps, community service projects, and more. With three different categories available for funding, students are encouraged to get creative and pursue projects that are meaningful to them. Read more about grant categories below.

The Student Enrichment Grant program is intended to encourage students to explore their passions through the lens of how these experiences might shape their future careers, help others, or otherwise engage them with their communities in different ways. 

The application process in itself should be a learning experience. Students will gain skills in identifying opportunities and seeking funding to support them. They will learn about filling out grant applications and learn skills that will prepare them to fill out future scholarship, job, and grant applications (among others). They will learn about the process of both winning and losing, and the challenge of “trying again.”
