The focus is on efforts to improve the quality of education and the motivation and self-esteem of students from pre-kindergarten through higher education. Support is provided for projects designed to prevent or solve problems and create opportunities, rather than meet basic needs. Letters of inquiry are due November 15, 2022; the deadline for invited applications is December 15, 2022. Application guidelines are available on the Foundation's website.
