Perry Newell, Funding College Project announcement.
We do things differently – The Funding College Project is about finding and using techniques and strategies to fund school and post high school activities. We identify opportunities, funds, alerting people to existing options, build contacts, answer questions, complete forms and nominations for prizes and awards,
offering a reminder to some and a look ahead for others.
It’s FREE – We are trying to spread the word about Scholarships, Honors, and Awards.
We are deeply indebted to the individuals and organizations which have helped us to reach an audience which has become worldwide. Please share this information with others.
As an OPEN PLATFORM, we invite and encourage others to share their support, offers or information. We do not require registration and do not collect personally identifiable information.
Our universe continues to expand with more and more contacts daily. Whether it be in this state, the United States or elsewhere in the world.
Here’s what you need to know – We have been in this arena for several decades and have helped many people along the way, making a friend or directing agency committees, smart individuals and schools.
We work with participants from Preschool age and to Adulthood, our process and documents are designed to provide information to an international audience.
Available Electronically: We operate virtually and in print – www.educatingouryouth.org. The Suburban Times – https://thesubtimes.com – may also publish – Search: Perry L. Newell and/or Funding College Project. Some of the annual awards are found here.

Nationally, 500 Dell Scholars are selected each year to receive a scholarship plus lots of non-monetary supports. Link: https://www.dellscholars.org/scholarship/

WHAT IS THE FUNDING COLLEGE PROJECT – Success is measured a number of ways; we often see it in the eyes first and then followed by expressions of status…
We began simple enough with a thought to give some the opportunity to explore or receive awards and scholarships to pursue goals which may have been beyond their reach a short time ago.
As a continuation of work begun in the middle 60s in the Tacoma Child Tutoring Program. We have attempted to show others how to capture the imaginations of those in communities, schools and active in vocational and post high school activities.
Our success has reached individuals in 43 countries, most US States, locally we are very pleased to have reached school and program administrators, adding to their available resources.
The Funding College Project is about finding and using techniques and strategies to support school aged and post high school activities. We work with students and families internationally. We identify, alerting interested parties to existing options, building contacts, answering questions, completing forms and nominations for prizes and awards. We are assessed through a number of portals (10 controlled by us) and allow and encourage others to use our open platform to promote their offerings. We post online first.
