Now Accepting Grant Applications
The Page Education Foundation awards grants to Minnesota’s youth of color who are pursuing a post-secondary education. There are no academic requirements. This grant must be renewed every year. Each year a student accepts a Page Grant, they are required to mentor/tutor younger children of color (K-8th grade) through a Service-to-Children project. The goals of the Service-to-Children project are to encourage and assist young children of color to do well in school, have a positive attitude about education and see college as a long-term goal.
Page grants range from $1,000-$2,500 per student annually and are awarded each June. Students are required to renew their grant each year proving they completed their Service-to-Children project and continue to maintain full-time status. Grant amounts vary based on the type of post-secondary education student are attending.
Please call the office for more information 612-332-0406 or download the PDF application here. Grant Applications are due May 1st, 2012
About Page Education Foundation
History
Alan Page spent fifteen years in the NFL, becoming the first defensive player in the league’s history to receive an MVP award. While playing football, he became a full-time law student, earning his Juris Doctor in 1978. Alan’s deep and abiding belief in the importance of education did not stop with his own success. Recognizing a need for our education system to reach more young people of color, he used his 1988 induction into the NFL Hall of Fame to launch the Page Education Foundation. From its inception, the Foundation has offered money and encouragement to students of color facing incredible barriers to attaining their educational dreams.
Mission/Goals
A young person’s life-long success begins with an education. Access to higher education promises far-reaching benefits, especially to students of color who often face daunting challenges in completing a post-secondary education. Guided by our mission to encourage Minnesota’s youth of color to pursue post-secondary education, the Page Education Foundation promotes their academic achievement, personal responsibility and untapped potential to become vital contributors to their communities. We accomplish this by granting financial assistance to post-secondary students. In return, these students actively foster positive attitudes toward literacy and learning among younger, school-age children of color through mentoring relationships.
