Summary
Supports a range of educational and learning‑focused programs across the United States. One major focus is funding scholarships at colleges and universities for undergraduate students — especially those who have had an extended gap in their education of five or more years and are now returning to complete their first bachelor’s degree. Many of these awards are administered by the educational institution rather than directly. Also backs lifelong‑learning programs designed for seasoned adults (typically age 50 and older), and integrative health, arts and education programs in certain regions.
In terms of eligibility: the scholarship portion is not open to individuals to apply directly. Instead, the colleges/universities include the foundation‑supported award within their financial‑aid offerings. To be eligible a student often must demonstrate a substantial interruption in study, exhibit financial need, show academic promise, and plan to participate in the workforce for years after graduation. Typical age ranges for the “re‑entry” students are around 25‑50, though this can vary by campus.
Award amounts vary by institution. At some schools, annual awards may range in the low thousands of dollars, applied toward tuition. At others, the foundation has provided larger endowments so the scholarship fund is permanent. The benefit is clear: the funds help non‑traditional students return to college and complete their degrees, reduce tuition burdens, and enable broader access to higher education.
