Education Grants
Since 1988, CORE’s board of directors has awarded grants to graduating high school seniors who plan to continue their education. Each year, we award 35 grants — five per director district — of $2,000 each. Grant recipients are chosen via a lottery-type drawing, as there are no scholastic requirements.
The application window for 2025 education grants has closed. Recipients will be announced and notified after the May Board of Directors meeting.
