Our Mission
Starting with “The Ask,” LOCATI EDGE empowers kids to grow by awarding extended learning scholarships that help kids move from opportunity imagined to opportunity realized, ultimately building a better future for themselves and their place in the world.
How It Works
Locati Edge conducts application reviews twice a year, typically in June and December. Applications submitted by June 1 or November 1 will be reviewed. However, we welcome applications at any time throughout the year. Please note that these dates are subject to change without prior notice.
Apply
Complete our online application and share your idea in a creative way! Rather than a traditional essay, consider a video, presentation, photos, drawings, creative writing, artwork, a budget, or another format that shows us what you hope to pursue, why it matters to you, and how it will help you learn and grow.

Each application will be considered based upon the submission criteria below and reviewed by the Grant Committee.

The Grant Committee (consisting of Locati Edge directors, officers, and volunteers) will alert recepients by mail.
