Challenge Scholars Dream Fund

The Challenge Scholars Dream Fund benefits Union High School students and graduates in the classes of 2020-2028. Challenge Scholars, parents, teachers or community partners can apply for funding for projects that support students in their journey to and through college or career training.

Challenge Scholars Program Fund

Opportunities for local students. Challenge Scholars is an education initiative supporting students who graduate from Union High School on Grand Rapids' West side. For students in the graduating classes of 2020 through 2028, Challenge Scholars offers a way to cover the costs of education after high school. These students are attending colleges across the state, charting new paths and earning their degrees. As we continue to learn from student experiences and adapt accordingly, your gift will help Challenge Scholars students cross the finish line.

Fund for Education

Supporting students through grants, scholarships and more. We strive for educational equity and where race, ethnicity and first-generation status are not predictive of post-secondary enrollment, persistence and degree or credential attainment. Through our Fund for Education the Community Foundation addresses the systemic barriers that hold students back. We collaborate with partners committed to changing these conditions so all students in Kent County can achieve their dreams. Your gift will support new and proven approaches, like support for students and families through grants and scholarships.
