The primary objective of this grant is to support those graduates who may encounter unique or formidable financial barriers.

To ensure an equitable distribution of this grant, we propose the following criteria for candidates:

1. Essay Requirement: Applicants are asked to submit an essay outlining their need for the grant funds and detailing their intended use of the funds. This essay should provide insights into the financial challenges they may face and how the grant would contribute to their ability to pursue their chosen career path immediately after graduation.
2. Academic Achievement: While not the sole criterion, preference will be given to applicants with a proven record of academic achievement during their high school years.
3. Career Path: Priority will be given to candidates pursuing skilled labor career paths.
4. Commitment to Community: Applicants should demonstrate a commitment to giving back to the community, either through volunteer work or other forms of community involvement.

To reiterate, this grant program is specifically designed for graduates who have opted not to pursue secondary education but are instead entering the workforce directly. The funds are intended to assist these individuals in overcoming financial obstacles as they embark on their career journeys immediately after graduation.

Applicants should submit their application to the School Counselor by April 1st each year.
