We coach, you write — every word you submit is your own
- Your application blueprint — what scholarship committees review, section by section, built around this award’s stated requirements and restrictions.
- Targeted prompts that pull your strongest, most specific material out of you — no staring at a blank page.
- A real review of your finished draft before you submit — margin notes, not rewrites.

Where this information comes from
Every fact on this page is published from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF for the tax period ending 2023-12-31 (EIN 922388525). Part XV of that form is where a private foundation that accepts unsolicited applications must tell the IRS — and the public — who to send applications to, what to include, any deadlines, and any restrictions on awards. Most of these programs are never listed on scholarship search sites; the filing is often the only public record they exist.
