Project Project Leadership: Grant County, Indiana
Parents, it's your turn!
Through the generous support of the Lumina Foundation, Project Leadership is partnering with the Affordable Housing Corporation and the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority to offer a new program to Twenty-first Century Scholars' parents interested in pursuing higher education.
The Educational Development Account (EDA) program is designed to help Twenty-first Century Scholars' parents multiply their educational savings up to four times.
A pre-application for the program is available here.
For additional information, please contact Steve Gibson at (765) 651-0650 Ext. 112 or via email at sgibson@projectleadership.org.
What we believe
Every child has a dream and deserves the chance to achieve it. Education unlocks a child’s future and full potential. That is why Project Leadership is committed to partnering with community residents and educators to:
1. Increase Grant County’s high school graduation and literacy rates and
2. Boost students’ college and life readiness.
Every child travels a path. Those with a plan who are surrounded by positive community voices will choose wisely.
