ELIGIBILITY TO APPLY
To determine if you are eligible to apply for a grant through the Dr. Scholl Foundation, please refer to the Preferences and Limitations page on our website.
METHOD OF APPLICATION
All applications must be submitted through the Dr. Scholl Foundation portal. We do not accept applications through any other method (e.g., mail, email, etc.). All application requests are acknowledged by email.
APPLICATION PROCESS (New timeline dates to be announced here soon.)
The application process contains two steps:
Step 1: Applicants may submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) through the Dr. Scholl Foundation portal. LOIs are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants must complete a LOI each cycle regardless of previous funding.
Step 2: If an applicant’s LOI is approved, they will be invited to submit a grant application through the application portal. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible after an LOI is approved.
FUNDING DECISIONS
All applicants are notified of funding decisions in October and the grant awards are disbursed in November.
