Eager to Learn 

Deadline: 11/15

The Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation Eager to Learn program was created to provide assistance to Florida's most vulnerable learners. Through this program, we will ensure that students from every socioeconomic background have access to the highest quality SAT and ACT prep materials and tutors. We formed the ETL program to partner with organizations who are poised to provide these services or who are already working with students to raise scores on the ACT and SAT tests. We want to empower students by providing them with a fair and equal opportunity to get into the best colleges and universities and position them to be offered scholarships and tuition packages by raising their scores.

Eligibility:

Organizations applying for funding must meet the following criteria:

  • Show proof of community partnerships or program space.
  • Be located in the State of Florida.
  • Each session or class should contain no more than 5 students at a time.
  • We prefer that organization have an annual budget of at least $75,000 and that the organization has been in existence for at least 5 years but will listen to and decide organizations on a case-by-case basis taking into account special or unique circumstances.
  • Be able to submit a report at the end of the grant cycle proving the positive impact on the students.
  • Agree to the EAGER to Learn Terms and Conditions and submit your grant report within 12 months of receiving the grant check.
  • Annual grants don’t exceed $25,000.

We want to hear from organizations who are currently working towards closing the achievement gap and helping to support the student in the process.  We understand the systemic issues surrounding today’s underprivileged youth. We want to help students, community leaders, and families find the support they need to navigate the education system, and to provide the same opportunities for every student in Florida.
