YOUR REAL ODDS

One grant of $2,500 is awarded per quarter from the full pool of applicants that cycle.

Only one winner is selected each quarter, so odds depend entirely on how many people apply. Applications don't roll over — you must reapply each quarter to stay in the running.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Pay the $15 application fee and submit your personal and business story — 30–60 minutes

  2. Explain how you'd use the $2,500 specifically — 15–20 minutes

  3. Submit before the last day of the quarter at 11:59 PM CST — Deadline check

WORTH KNOWING

The review committee explicitly says not to use business jargon — they want personal passion and concrete examples of your qualities in action, not a formal business plan. Specificity about how you'd spend the money is also called out as important.
