Everything below comes from the foundation’s Form 990-PF (tax period ending 2024-12-31) — the public filing where a foundation that accepts applications must state who to contact, how to apply, its deadlines, and its restrictions. Free to read, always.
Who is eligible
Restrictions are quoted from the filing’s own words. A foundation’s mailing address doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — the restriction text above does.

Deadline
We don’t compute a date we can’t verify — the filing’s own words above are the best available record. Confirm with the foundation.
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.
We never write your application for you. That matters: committees increasingly screen for AI-written applications, and coached-and-yours holds up because it is yours. Flat $199 — finding and reading everything on this page stays free.
This award’s expected deadline has passed since this page was published, so we don’t sell coaching for it. Confirm the next cycle with the foundation, or find one that’s open now.

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 2024-12-31 (EIN 251864927). 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.
