Challenge Scholars Dream Fund Application

Challenge Scholars Dream Fund

Have an idea to support Challenge Scholars students?
Apply for funding today to make it happen!
The Dream Fund has grant funds available for projects that benefit Challenge Scholars in 6th grade through college. $10,000 is the maximum available to any one school, organization or group during each school year. Partnerships between groups and organizations are encouraged!

We believe that students who have strong relationships with caring adults, access to high-quality teaching and learning, support as they navigate academic transitions, and access to financial resources will be successful in their journey to and through college or career training. We also believe in amplifying community voice in decision-making and accountability.

Any project taking place in a GRPS school requires principal approval. Please obtain principal approval before submitting a grant application.
