Help keep the next step within reach.
Current work • Four awards planned each year
Awards are presented at Youth and Job ChalleNGe graduations held twice annually. We aim to increase this plan as donor support grows.
Approved tuition, required fees, books, supplies, and equipment.
Approved credentials, certifications, required tools, and preparation costs.
School extracurricular activities, clubs, drill and ceremony, and similar participation costs.
Email juan.ayala@cornerstonechallenge.org before using awarded funds. Explain the education or workforce-readiness need and attach proof of the cost or required item, such as an invoice, quote, registration notice, or required-supplies list. Requests are reviewed before funds are released; additional documentation may be required. Keep records of the approved use. A scholarship award is not unrestricted cash or automatic approval of every expense.
Assistance depends on eligibility, program requirements, approval, available funds, and applicable donor restrictions. Recipients must document the approved purpose. Please do not include Social Security numbers, bank details, medical records, or sensitive personal histories in an initial email. Academy-wide requests follow a separate board-review process.
