Our Grants - Jack Kent Cooke Foundation While primarily a scholarship provider, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation identifies and invests a portion of its funding in strategic grant initiatives to expand educational opportunities throughout the United States. The Foundation partners with educational leaders that share our commitment to advance the education of exceptionally promising students who have financial need.
Together, the Foundation and its grant partners work to create high-quality learning experiences for thousands of remarkable students whose families, schools, and communities need additional resources to help these students reach their fullest potential. Selective public high schools provide a uniquely stimulating learning environment for students.
Increased exposure to rigorous content, deep engagement, and academically-oriented peer support benefit high achieving students and lead to strong preparation for top colleges and universities.
The Foundation recognizes that high performing youth from low to moderate-income families often must overcome challenges regarding access to information and adequate preparation necessary to gain admission to highly selective high schools; those admitted benefit from sustained, attuned support to graduate successfully.
College Access and Excellence The Foundation supports talented musicians from limited financial backgrounds through its scholarship programs and sponsorship of the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award. The Foundation recognizes that musically talented youth from low-income families often lack the funding for private lessons, master classes, quality instruments, summer programs, and performance experiences.
These musicians miss out on the creativity and stimulation that comes from being surrounded by an ensemble of talented peers sharing high music aspirations and being led by inspiring faculty.
With Jack Kent Cooke Foundation funding, Northern Virginia Community College provides college counseling to more than 500 students in Loudoun County per year and awards 60 Pathways scholarships to high-ability, low-income students attending NVCC and George Mason University. Pathways to Baccalaureate program supports students as they make the transition from high school, through NVCC to George Mason or another university.
Pathway has emerged as an award-winning program model that has demonstrated remarkable outcomes in the areas of college access, success and completion. The Good Neighbor Grants program was established in 2012 to identify and strengthen ties with youth-serving nonprofit organizations in the Northern Virginia, metropolitan Washington, D. C.
, and Maryland areas that are helping students with significant financial need reach their full potential through education.

Funding is intended for application towards specific project or program based costs.

Foundation Support of HBCUs and Mental Health in Young People The Cooke Foundation has invested over $5 million at five public Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) — Alabama A&M University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, Florida A&M University, and Morgan State University.
Despite their small endowments, these public HBCUs have displayed strong results statewide and nationally in increasing the number of Pell-eligible students pursuing and continuing in STEM fields at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We have also announced $1,745,000 in grant funding dedicated to supporting the mental health of young people.
In response to the staggering mental health crisis facing students nationwide, this funding will accelerate the work of three nonprofit organizations – Active Minds, The Steve Fund, and The Jed Foundation – with a strong record in helping high school and postsecondary institutions support students experiencing mental health difficulties.

This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
